295 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit building at 295 New York Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Ivy King, has been facing recurring regulatory challenges related to bedbug reporting compliance since 2021. Most recently, in 2024 and 2023, the building received open violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

These violations have persisted through multiple years, suggesting an ongoing oversight in meeting this specific regulatory requirement. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing an acceptable condition.

However, there was a notable exception in June 2023 when rat activity was observed, though it appears this issue was promptly addressed as subsequent inspections passed. The building has also been subject to health department scrutiny, such as a 2022 investigation of an unsanitary animal complaint, which resulted in no violations being found. While the property has generally maintained basic health and safety compliance, the recurring bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant pattern of regulatory non-compliance in recent years.
