659 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 659 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Barbara Fisher, has been the subject of recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years. The most recent violations, documented in April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022, all pertain to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code.

Notably, there appears to be some inconsistency in the building’s bedbug reporting history, as records show a completed bedbug report filing in August 2021 for the period from November 2019 to October 2020, indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This suggests that while the building has had ongoing issues with timely reporting compliance, actual bedbug infestations may not have been a persistent problem during that specific period.

Looking further back, the building passed a rodent inspection in August 2012, which is the most recent pest-related inspection on record prior to the bedbug reporting violations that began in 2021. The pattern of open violations regarding bedbug reporting, which have continued for three consecutive years (2022-2024), is the most significant ongoing compliance issue currently affecting the building, with these violations carrying potential implications for tenant comfort and building management practices.
