249 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story building at 249 Ridgewood Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Carmen Roman and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with particular attention needed regarding bedbug reporting compliance. The building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation still remaining open as of April 2024.

While the building's most recent bedbug report filing in May 2023 indicated no infested units during the 2021-2022 reporting period, it is concerning that the property has maintained this pattern of violations over multiple years. The building's rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017 both passed, showing compliance with health standards during those periods.

Prior to the recent bedbug reporting issues, there was a drainage-related complaint investigated in August 2020, though this inspection was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt". It's worth noting that while the building has had multiple bedbug-related compliance issues, the recent bedbug report and historical rodent inspections suggest that actual infestation problems may have been managed effectively when they occurred, though the repeated violations indicate ongoing challenges with administrative compliance.
