643 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 643 Decatur Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Scarle Pineda, is a 126-year-old Old Law Tenement structure. The building has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in both 2023 and 2024, and a prior violation in 2022.

These violations specifically pertain to the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations. However, according to the bedbug reporting history, the building submitted a report for the 2020-2021 period showing zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting the issue may relate more to administrative compliance than active infestations.

On a positive note regarding general building conditions, 643 Decatur Street has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past several years, with successful inspections recorded in 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and most recently in June 2025. The building's ability to maintain a rodent-free environment across these multiple inspections indicates effective pest management practices in this regard. While the persistent bedbug reporting violations are notable, the building's record shows no confirmed bedbug infestations in recent years, and the property appears to be maintaining basic compliance with other health and safety requirements, as evidenced by the successful rodent inspections.
