431 Clermont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 3-unit, 3-story brownstone at 431 Clermont Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Mark Orlando, has been standing since 1868 and has maintained its Class A designation as a heretofore converted building. The property has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in both 2021 and 2022 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report.

However, the most recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2024 show no infestations were present during the specified periods, with zero units affected in each reporting cycle. Most recently, in November 2023, the building has faced safety concerns regarding its sidewalk shed, which was cited for having a hazardous gap between the facade and the shed.

This issue resulted in both an Environmental Control Board violation (number 39523051X) and a corresponding closed complaint, though notably no penalty was imposed. It's worth mentioning that between 2021-2023, the building maintained clear bedbug reports, with all units reported as free of infestation and no documented eradication or re-infestation cases. The building's recent compliance history shows improved bedbug management, with timely filings and no reported infestations in the past two years, though the safety issue with the sidewalk shed remains the most pressing current concern.
