2298 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 2298 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Lloyd Vesprey, has a concerning pattern of unaddressed housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive class A violations (2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These open violations, which have persisted for multiple years, suggest ongoing non-compliance with important public health requirements. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has shown no documented rodent issues since a passed inspection in February 2010.

The consistently open bedbug reporting violations represent the building's most significant and most recent regulatory compliance challenges. While the repeated nature of these violations indicates a pattern of non-compliance, it's worth noting that the building's overall violation history is limited to these bedbug reporting requirements in recent years. The property has maintained its core utility and structural systems in compliance with regulations, as evidenced by the absence of other documented health or safety violations.
