219 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 219 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Fathi Himed, has a documented history of compliance issues primarily related to pest control over recent years. Since 2021, the property has consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though notably, the most recent filings for 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting successful pest management despite the reporting violations.

The building's earlier history includes documented rodent problems, with initial inspections in 2012-2013 showing rat activity and compliance failures, though a subsequent 2012 inspection showed no issues. The most pressing concerns for the building have been its recurring violations of bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, representing a pattern of non-compliance with health and safety regulations.

However, the most recent bedbug filings show no current infestations or eradication efforts, which could indicate improved pest management practices, though the lack of formal certification for these filings is noteworthy. While the building's pest management history shows some challenges, the property has maintained a relatively stable record in recent years, with no new violations or pest issues reported since mid-2024.
