486 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 486 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Madeline Artz, has demonstrated consistent compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, though with some procedural issues noted in recent inspections. The building, constructed in 1899, is on record as having four Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting between 2021 and 2024, all of which have been closed.

These violations stemmed from the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024. Despite the violation notices, the building's official bedbug reports tell a different story of effective pest management. The most recent report, filed in October 2024 for the period ending October 31, 2023, shows no documented bedbug infestations in any of the three units.

This pattern is consistent across previous reports for 2022 and 2021, all of which showed zero infestation counts and successful eradication of any pests. The building's bedbug management record indicates that while there were occasional lapses in timely reporting, there has been no actual infestation problem, with all units remaining bedbug-free according to official HPD filings. The property has maintained a clean record over the past two years, with no new violations recorded since April 2024.
