273 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 273 Vanderbilt Avenue in Clinton Hill, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Joann Mcfarlane, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. The property has two open violations from March 2023 and April 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

However, it's worth noting that prior to these violations, the building maintained a clean record regarding bedbug issues, with completed filings in 2021 and 2022 indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the respective reporting periods (2019-2020 and 2020-2021). Both of these previous filings occurred after the violations had been issued, with the 2022 filing submitted on May 12, 2022, covering the period from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021.

Despite the recent compliance issues, the building's history suggests that bedbug infestations have not been a persistent problem, with the current violations appearing to stem primarily from administrative oversight rather than ongoing infestations, as evidenced by the previous clean records. The most recent bedbug-related violations (2023 and 2024) remain open as of July 2025, indicating that the building has not yet resolved these compliance issues. While the property has maintained a relatively clean history regarding actual bedbug infestations, the recurring violations related to reporting requirements suggest an ongoing administrative oversight that has persisted into 2025, despite the building's previous track record of timely compliance.
