1997 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1997 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Howard Whitfield, has been subject to recurring regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years.
The property, which was constructed in 1920 and is now classified as a converted Class A building, has four consecutive open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations. These violations, though not directly indicating an active pest problem, represent a consistent pattern of non-compliance with mandatory safety and reporting requirements.
As of April 2024, the most recent violation remains unresolved, continuing a three-year streak of open violations that began in 2022 when the first notice was issued. The building's documented history shows no other major incidents or complaints on record, but the repeated nature of these violations suggests potential challenges in regulatory compliance related to resident safety protocols.
