883 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit building at 883 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Jose Velasquez, has maintained a concerning pattern of compliance issues over the past several years, with the most significant ongoing problem being the failure to submit mandatory annual bedbug reports. The building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all concerning the non-filing of bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

These open violations indicate a persistent failure to comply with basic health and safety reporting requirements, with the most recent violation still active as of April 2024. The building's inspection history reveals limited concerns beyond the bedbug reporting issue, though there was one instance of a rodent inspection in May 2012 that resulted in a passing grade.

Additionally, there was a complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion in 2022 (complaint number 3839550), though this was ultimately closed in November 2022 with the inspector unable to gain access during the final attempt. While the building appears to have been standing since its 1930 construction, the recurring bedbug report violation pattern over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance rather than documented pest issues, as the violations themselves are administrative in nature rather than indicative of an infestation.
