479 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-unit residential building at 479 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Philip Germain, has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting violations over the past three years, with open violations documented in April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The two-story structure, built in 1930 and classifed as a converted Class A building, had its most recent inspection violations centered around documentation compliance rather than physical safety concerns. Going back further, the building experienced a rat inspection in July 2012 that initially resulted in a failure, followed by a passing compliance inspection in August of the same year, indicating some attention to rodent management at that time.

More recently, in late 2018, there was a complaint filed regarding potential Certificate of Occupancy issues, though this was investigated in June 2019 and no violations were warranted based on the inspection results. The building's most significant ongoing compliance issue appears to be the repeated failure to submit required bedbug documentation, with no records indicating any actual bedbug infestations associated with these violations, suggesting the primary concern is administrative rather than relating to pest conditions.
