Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

1490 Prospect Place is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, owned by Bernard Madden and constructed in 2007. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. However, it's noteworthy that the building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations during this period, with all four annual bedbug reports (most recently filed in July 2024) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug eradication protocols, though the pattern of violations suggests there may have been administrative oversights in timely reporting, rather than actual infestation problems. The most recent bedbug report period (2022-2023) and previous filings for 2021-2022, 2020-2021, and 2019-2020 all confirm the absence of any bedbug issues within the building, indicating effective pest management despite the violation notices.
