428 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story building at 428 Ridgewood Avenue in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, owned by Monica Gutierrez and constructed in 1901 as a New Law Tenement, has a concerning pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance codes over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.

These recurring violations, while classified as "A" (which typically indicate lesser severity), suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to basic reporting requirements. The building's inspection history also includes one successful rodent inspection in March 2012, indicating that at least some proactive pest management efforts were made over a decade ago.

However, the absence of any recorded rodent issues since 2012, combined with the pattern of bedbug report violations, paints a mixed picture of the building's current pest management practices. It's worth noting that the bedbug report violations do not necessarily indicate an active infestation, but rather a regulatory compliance issue that has persisted for multiple years.
