189 Richmond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, three-unit building at 189 Richmond Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Duc Tran, has a notable pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting over the past several years. The New Law Tenement, constructed in 1901, has received four consecutive Open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, while procedural in nature, indicate a recurring oversight in building management's attention to mandatory public health reporting requirements. The most recent violation, issued in April 2024, remains unresolved as of the current date.

In terms of rodent control, the building has undergone inspections in 2012 and 2017, both of which resulted in passing grades. This suggests that while the building has been relatively successful in maintaining basic pest control, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent a significant area of non-compliance with housing regulations. It's worth noting that all the bedbug reporting violations occurred during a period when many buildings were navigating the complexities of new reporting requirements, though the persistence of these violations over multiple years is noteworthy.
