79 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

79 Kingsland Avenue in Williamsburg is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building owned by Salvatore Gargano and completed in 2012. The building's history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in its early years.

Between late 2010 and early 2011, four rodent inspections were conducted, all resulting in failures for various unspecified reasons, indicating potential pest control challenges during the building's initial occupancy period. A sewage odor complaint was recorded in March 2020, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Health, though the resolution indicated the need for monitoring of persistent issues.

More recently, the building appears to have maintained a pest-free environment, with consecutive bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 showing no infested or re-infested units, though the 2020-2021 report noted eradication efforts completed for all 7 units at that time. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2022-2025 indicates consistent monitoring with no new infestations, suggesting successful management of this particular issue since the initial eradication in 2020-2021. While the property faced significant pest control challenges in its early years, particularly with rodents and the severe sewage issue in 2020, the recent years show an improved track record regarding major pest problems, though the historical data highlights the importance of ongoing maintenance and prompt reporting protocols.
