679 Watkins Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 679 Watkins Street in Brownsville, owned by Loretta Joseph and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued four Class A violations between 2021 and 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. However, it's important to note that the most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows zero infested dwelling units, and the previous reporting period (2021-2022) also recorded no infestations.
This pattern suggests improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the January 2025 filing showing no current or previously reported infestations and indicating successful eradication of any prior occurrences. The building's violation history shows that while there were persistent issues with timely bedbug report filings, the actual infestation rates appear to have been managed effectively, with no units currently experiencing infestations as of the latest reports.
