489 6th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 489 6th Avenue in Brooklyn's South Slope neighborhood, owned by Richard Brady, has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024.

While the building did not report any actual bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting periods, having recorded zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units in both their 2022 filings, there have been four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. These violations, which remain open as of 2024, were issued in March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024, approximately one year apart, all noting non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as stipulated by HPD rules.

Despite these violations, it's noteworthy that there were no reported infestations during the period covered by the violations, suggesting that the violations are primarily administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active bedbug problem in the building. The property has a history dating back to 1920, and while these bedbug reporting violations are the most significant pattern noted in recent years, they primarily relate to paperwork compliance rather than direct impacts on resident safety or comfort.
