234 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The two-unit residential building at 234 Vanderbilt Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Francesco Giacojr and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance events over recent years. Most notably, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have been closed.

The building's most recent bedbug report (July 2025) shows no reported infestations for the period from November 2023 to October 2024, continuing a clean record that dates back to 2019. In 2023, two complaints were filed regarding work without proper permits in this occupied multiple dwelling, with inspections showing an "Unable to Gain Access" response on one occasion and a violation served on another. Additionally, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued in August 2023 noting structural concerns, with observations of vertical cracks approximately 2 feet in length on the building's facade, particularly around the roof cornice area.

While this violation was marked as resolved with no penalties imposed, it represents a noteworthy structural concern for the property. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance since 2021, with no reported cases of infestation or required eradication treatments in any of the annual filings. The most recent annual bedbug report submission in July 2025 indicates proper compliance with this specific requirement, despite the previous violations that occurred during this transition period to regular reporting.
