706 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

706 Sheffield Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building owned by Calvin Bertie, located in East New York and constructed in 1922. The building's recent inspection history reveals an ongoing compliance issue with the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding bedbug reporting requirements.

Most notably, as of April 2024, there is an open violation concerning the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, marking the fourth consecutive year this requirement has not been fulfilled (following similar violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021). The most recent bedbug report submitted (on November 2, 2023) for the period 2021-2022 indicates no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting the building may not have had an active bedbug infestation during that period.

The building has a relatively clean history regarding other pest control matters, having passed both rodent inspections conducted in 2011 and 2012, which were initial inspections. While the repeated bedbug reporting violations are concerning from a regulatory compliance perspective, the submitted reports indicate the building has maintained an infestation-free status during the reporting periods. However, it's worth noting that the most recent violation remains open as of April 2024, which may suggest ongoing challenges with meeting bedbug reporting requirements.
