596 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, two-unit building at 596 7th Street in Park Slope, owned by Paul Taylor and constructed in 1903, has had several notable administrative and compliance events in recent years. The property has maintained a consistent pattern of receiving Bedbug Report violations from 2021 through 2024, with violations appearing in April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024, all related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, in a positive turn of events, the recent Bedbug Reporting filed in January 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no reported infestations, with counts of infested units, eradicated units, and re-infested units all listed as zero. The building has also undergone inspections related to Local Law 188/17 compliance. A complaint filed in December 2023 resulted in an inspection in March 2024 where the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt.

A subsequent complaint filed in September 2024 was inspected later that month, but records indicate no enforcement action was required. These compliance inspections suggest the building is undertaking efforts to meet city regulations, though access issues and inspection scheduling appear to have been challenges. The most recent bedbug report indicating no active infestations could suggest improved management practices, though the history of violations points to previous compliance challenges that required multiple years of enforcement attention.
