336 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 336 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Audrey Elias, has been under consistent scrutiny for bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, the building currently has two open violations (as of April 2024 and March 2023) related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which was previously addressed in a closed violation from April 2021.

Interestingly, during the reporting period from November 2020 to October 2021, the building reported zero infested dwelling units, successfully completed eradication efforts, and had no instances of re-infestation. While the absence of actual infestations might suggest effective pest management, the recurring violations regarding report filing requirements indicate an administrative oversight issue that has persisted through multiple years.

The building's history reveals a consistent pattern of bedbug report violations, with open citations in 2023 and 2024, and a closed violation in 2021. The most recent open violation from April 2024 highlights a continuing need for attention to compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, particularly in relation to pest management reporting obligations. The situation presents an interesting dichotomy between the apparent successful pest control outcomes during the 2020-2021 period (with no reported infestations) and the ongoing administrative challenges in meeting reporting requirements, which have become the primary focus of violations in recent years.
