816 Crown Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 816 Crown Street in Crown Heights, owned by Dorothy Black, has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. The building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

These violations, all classified as "Class A" (which indicates they pose a direct threat to tenant safety), remain open as of this report, with no evidence of certification of correction. In contrast, the building has maintained an exemplary record in rodent control inspections, passing ten consecutive inspections from 2016 through February 2025.

This consistent performance demonstrates effective pest management in this area, though it should be noted that the building's rodent-related compliance does not directly address the ongoing issue with bedbug reporting compliance. The building, constructed in 1924, falls under the New Law Tenement classification, which typically indicates stricter regulatory oversight regarding housing code compliance. While the building's age and size are typical for the Crown Heights neighborhood, the persistent bedbug reporting violations represent an ongoing area of regulatory non-compliance that has spanned multiple ownership review periods.
