65 Orient Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story New Law tenement building at 65 Orient Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Joseph Grosso and dating back to 1899, has experienced several significant events regarding pest management and building maintenance over the past few years. The property had a notable unsanitary condition complaint related to pests in September 2020, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues. This complaint coincided with two Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed on the same date, though these were subsequently closed.

The building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2023, both related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though both of these violations were ultimately closed. Despite these historical incidents, more recent records indicate a marked improvement in pest management. The bedbug reporting for the periods ending October 2023 and earlier consistently showed zero infested dwelling units, with no instances of eradication or re-infestation reported.

The building's most recent bedbug filing in January 2024 and December 2023, as well as the April 2023 and December 2021 filings, all confirmed a complete absence of bedbug issues during their respective reporting periods. Furthermore, the building has successfully passed a rodent inspection conducted in September 2024, suggesting improved overall sanitation conditions. While the property has experienced some pest-related challenges in the past, the consistent lack of reported infestations and successful recent inspections indicate effective management of these issues in recent years.
