601 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

601 Leonard Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Built in 1899 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, the property is currently owned by Joseph Germano. The building has experienced minimal pest-related issues in recent years, with a notable pattern of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2022.

Specifically, the building received Housing Maintenance Code violations in April 2021 and February 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been marked as closed. Importantly, since the 2021-2022 reporting period, subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 have indicated zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting successful resolution of the earlier compliance issues. The most recent bedbug filing in March 2024 covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023, showing no infestations whatsoever.

Prior to this, similar filings from 2021 through 2023 consistently reported zero infested units, indicating the building has maintained a pest-free status for over three years. The only other documented inspection on record was a rodent inspection conducted in May 2013, which the building passed. Given the building's age and typical urban challenges, the relatively few violations and successful resolution of issues, particularly regarding bedbugs, demonstrates improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements over the past several years.
