218 Monitor Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

218 Monitor Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Greenpoint and owned by Laurann Rufrano. Built in 1901, this property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, as evidenced by four consecutive violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC).

The most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, remains open, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with this important health and safety requirement. While the building's bedbug report for the 2019-2020 period showed no infestation (with zero dwelling units affected), the recurring violations indicate potential challenges with maintaining proper pest control documentation.

The Department of Buildings has received two complaints regarding unauthorized work in the occupied multiple dwelling between June and September 2022. Both complaints were promptly investigated and closed, with inspectors finding "No Violation Warranted" at the time of inspection. The building's age, combined with these documented issues, highlights the importance of monitoring maintenance compliance and building management practices, particularly regarding pest control and proper permitting procedures, though it's worth noting that not all complaints necessarily indicate safety concerns.
