401 Essex Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 401 Essex Street in East New York, owned by Dave Lindsay, has experienced several notable issues throughout its history, with the most pressing concerns centered around pest management compliance. The building, constructed in 2004, has maintained a consistent record of open violations related to bedbug report filings, with documented violations occurring annually from 2021 through 2024.

These violations, classified as Class A housing maintenance code violations, specifically cite the failure to file required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, and notably, these violations remain unresolved as of the most recent inspection in April 2024. Additionally, there is an open 311 service request from September 2020 regarding beekeeping activity at the property, specifically related to honeybees, which is currently listed as "In Progress" with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building's only other inspection-related record shows a successful rodent inspection in May 2012, though this is now over a decade old. While the building's relatively young age (built in 2004) and limited number of inspections might suggest better-than-average maintenance, the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years merits attention as the most significant ongoing compliance issue affecting the property and its residents.
