85 Division Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, one-unit building at 85 Division Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Mendel Silber and constructed in 1899, has experienced persistent documentation issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently open housing maintenance code violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

While the building's official bedbug reporting for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infested units, eradicated units, or cases of re-infestation, the subsequent violations suggest ongoing administrative non-compliance with reporting requirements. Prior to these bedbug reporting issues, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2019, with an initial inspection revealing rat activity in February of that year, followed by a subsequent compliance inspection that passed in March 2019.

It's worth noting that before the current pattern of bedbug reporting violations began, there had been a period of compliance, as evidenced by a closed violation from 2021 regarding bedbug reporting, though this violation was consistent in nature with the more recent open violations. This pattern of violations and inspections suggests ongoing challenges with compliance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, though the actual infestation history appears limited based on official records.
