279 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

279 Bleecker Street, a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law tenement built in 1931 and owned by Cirilo Teco, has consistently faced challenges with compliance to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, particularly regarding annual bedbug reporting. The building has received four consecutive class A violations from 2021 to 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open as of this date.

While these violations are primarily administrative in nature, they represent an ongoing compliance issue for the property management. In terms of pest management, the building's recent history shows a mixed record. Between 2020 and 2023, the property underwent regular rodent inspections with generally favorable outcomes, passing eight out of nine inspections.

Notably, there was one instance of rat activity recorded in October 2023, though subsequent inspections in early 2024 and 2025 have all passed. This suggests that while rodent control measures were temporarily challenged in late 2023, they were addressed promptly, as indicated by the three consecutive passed rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025. The building's persistent bedbug reporting violations contrast with its generally successful pest management program, highlighting an area of concern in administrative compliance that has persisted for multiple years.
