918 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 918 8th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Joseph Marucci and constructed in 1892, has a record of consistent bedbug reporting violations over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern from previous violations in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021.

While these violations indicate compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements, it's worth noting that the building's official bedbug report for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 showed no recorded infestations or eradications. The building's maintenance history shows one additional safety concern: in May 2018, a Class B violation was recorded for inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, where the property was required to maintain a minimum of 100 watts of lighting from sunset to sunrise.

This violation was addressed and certified as corrected by June 2018. While the persistent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, the absence of actual infestation records in official filings and the correction of the entrance lighting issue provide some context to the building's maintenance history.
