496 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 496 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by Janice Dozier, has experienced recurring issues with compliance to New York City's Housing Maintenance Code over the past four years. Most notably, there are four consecutive open violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent being documented in April 2024, and all dating back to March 2021.

These violations, while classified as "A" (which typically indicates they are not immediately hazardous), represent an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with city health regulations. The building's pest management record shows these bedbug report violations, while concerning, are not directly tied to any documented infestations. On a more positive note, the property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control standards, having passed three inspections in 2019 and twice in 2012, indicating no significant rodent issues.

The building, constructed in 2005, falls under the "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" category, which generally designates buildings containing residential units. While the persistent bedbug report violations suggest potential management shortcomings, the absence of other documented safety violations or infestation issues over this period is worth noting. The building's documented history of rodent control compliance might suggest effective property management in certain areas, though this has not extended to the required bedbug reporting compliance.
