302 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

302 Manhattan Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and owned by Paul Casella. The 126-year-old property has undergone a unique conversion to a Class A building status as defined by New York City's housing regulations. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to required reporting of bedbug activity, with violations noted annually from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file the mandatory bedbug reports, though these violations were all marked as closed.

Most recently, the bedbug report filed in January 2025 for the period ending October 31, 2024, indicated no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, demonstrating compliance with the requirement despite previous violations. Prior to this report, a similar status was confirmed in the May 2024 filing for the 2022-2023 period. The building has had no documented rodent infestation issues in recent years, as evidenced by a passed inspection in November 2022.

The property appears to have addressed its bedbug reporting issues, as the most recent filings show proper documentation of bedbug activity (or lack thereof) through January 2025. While the annual violations for bedbug report filing represent a notable pattern in the building's recent history, current records suggest compliance with city requirements with no ongoing pest control concerns. The building's age and converted status are typical for the Williamsburg neighborhood, which has experienced significant development and conversion activity over the past few decades.
