840 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

840 Union Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, dating back to 1885 and currently owned by Chris Vickrey. The building, which has been classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," has an ongoing pattern of administrative compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

Specifically, the property has received four consecutive violations (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with these violations continuing to remain open as of 2024. While the presence of bedbug-related violations can indicate potential concerns about pest management practices, it's worth noting that these are strictly administrative violations regarding reporting compliance rather than direct health or safety issues.

The building's history does show some positive maintenance compliance, with an initial rodent inspection conducted in July 2011 resulting in a "Passed" rating, suggesting effective pest control procedures at that time. However, it's important to highlight that the most recent inspection records available (as of October 2023) show no documented rodent issues since 2011, which may indicate either improved conditions or potentially limited inspection frequency. The repeated nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing challenge with maintaining compliance with this particular regulatory requirement, though these violations are more administrative in nature than indicative of active pest problems.
