766 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 766 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Louis Almonte and constructed in 1930, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance in recent years. Most notably, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from April and June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022.

The building's history shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though interestingly, the bedbug reports themselves submitted by the management (in May 2023 and July 2021) show no infested units to report, with records indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during the reporting periods of 2019-2020 and 2021-2022. The property has maintained some positive history, with a rodent inspection in May 2012 resulting in a passed status, though this is now quite dated.

The building has a consistent pattern of addressing regulatory requirements between violations, as seen in the bedbug reporting compliance, though the recurring violations suggest these requirements are being met only after citations are issued. The most recent violation from April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting is particularly noteworthy as it remains open as of 2025, marking a deviation from the previously established pattern of timely resolution. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" are consistent with its historical context, though these designations have no direct bearing on current conditions.
