198 Weirfield Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 198 Weirfield Street in Bushwick, owned by Carlo Formisano and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring compliance issues in recent years, most notably concerning bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the property has received four consecutive annual violations under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open as of July 2025.

These repeated violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. On a more positive note, the building has shown improvement in terms of rodent control, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully.

However, there was one instance of rat activity recorded in August 2022, prior to subsequent successful inspections in September 2022 and January 2013. The property was classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its current status as a legal multiple dwelling, though it likely underwent conversion from a former use given the historic building classification. While some of the violations relate to administrative compliance rather than direct resident safety concerns, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years warrants attention to the building's overall maintenance and management practices.
