148 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, four-unit building at 148 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Peter Blake and constructed in 1899, has experienced consistent challenges with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding bedbug reporting. From 2021 through 2024, the building has received four separate violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024.

These repeated violations indicate persistent oversight in maintaining proper pest management documentation. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, with all recent inspections from 2019 through March 2025 passing successfully. This includes eight consecutive passing inspections between 2019 and 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures in place for rodents, despite the ongoing bedbug reporting compliance issues.

The building's history shows a notable pattern of bedbug reporting violations, while simultaneously maintaining strong performance in rodent inspections. While the consistent bedbug report violations represent an administrative compliance issue, it's important to note that these violations are related to documentation requirements rather than active infestations. The property's rodent-free status over multiple years is a positive indicator of overall building maintenance, though the repeated bedbug reporting violations suggest room for improvement in record-keeping practices.
