705 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 705 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Helena Therezo and constructed in 1930, has undergone several significant events and maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building has experienced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all concerning the failure to file required annual bedbug reports.

While these violations were eventually closed, they indicate some challenges with documentation compliance. The building has faced more concerning structural issues, particularly in 2022, when a complaint was filed regarding "Building Shaking/Vibrating/Struct Stability Affected" on July 2, 2022. While this complaint was closed the following day with an "Oath Violation Served" disposition, it raised questions about the building's stability.

Subsequently, a structural violation was issued on July 3, 2022, related to the building's exterior conditions, citing cracks in the brick facade on the front exposure and areas of missing stucco on the side exposure. This violation is still listed as ACTIVE with a penalty of $312, indicating ongoing concerns about the building's maintenance. In terms of bedbug infestation, the most recent reports from 2023 and 2024 show no active infestations, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested during the reporting periods.
