221 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

221 Eckford Street is a six-unit, three-story New Law tenement building located in Greenpoint, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Maria Zarzycki. The building's recent inspection and violation history has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations.

These violations, however, were not associated with infestations, as indicated by the most recent bedbug report filed on April 25, 2024, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, which documented zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no instances of re-infestation. The building's earlier history shows attention to pest management, with a successful initial rodent inspection conducted in May 2013.

While the repeated bedbug report violations might suggest procedural oversight rather than actual infestation issues, it's worth noting that the most recent filing was completed properly, showing compliance with the reporting requirements as of April 2024. The consistent nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years indicates this issue was likely related to administrative compliance rather than actual pest problems within the building, particularly given the subsequent accurate reporting in 2024 showing no infestations during the covered period.
