69 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 69 Montrose Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Edward Dorta, has been under consistent scrutiny regarding its bedbug reporting compliance over the past few years.

Since 2021, the building has faced repeated violations of the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding annual bedbug report filings, with the most recent violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022, all of which remain open as of the current date. These recurring violations indicate a persistent pattern of non-compliance with the required documentation protocols.

While there was one closed violation from April 2021 related to the same bedbug reporting requirement, it is notable that during the only documented bedbug reporting period (November 2019 - October 2020), the filing dated May 5, 2021, showed no recorded infestation, no units eradicated, and no re-infested units, suggesting that during that specific period, the building did not experience an actual infestation despite the reporting compliance issues. Given the building's age (constructed in 1920) and its Old Law Tenement classification, these bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant ongoing compliance issues in recent years, though it's important to note that these violations relate to documentation rather than direct safety concerns or reported infestations.
