75 Herbert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 75 Herbert Street in Greenpoint, owned by Freddy Cedeno, has a mixed record regarding maintenance and compliance with housing regulations since its construction in 1980. Most notably, there has been persistent non-compliance with the city's bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, which is typically a relatively straightforward administrative requirement.

While a past violation from 2022 was closed, the pattern suggests this has been an ongoing oversight. In 2025, there were two related complaints regarding unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage area, which were investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws, resulting in the closure of both complaints. The building's historical records show a period of relative stability regarding violations prior to 2021, with only the bedbug reporting requirements being an issue.

Interestingly, the formal bedbug reporting for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units reported at that time. The persistence of bedbug reporting violations in 2023 and 2024, despite the building showing no actual infestations in the past report, could suggest either administrative oversight or a lack of proper record-keeping. The most recent service requests and violations have been addressed promptly by HPD, though the building's current compliance status as of 2025 shows two open bedbug reporting violations from 2023 and 2024 inspections, while earlier violations from 2021-2022 have been closed.
