700 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

700 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Brenton Stedford. The building has experienced consistent regulatory oversight regarding bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with Housing Maintenance Code violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicated no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting that while the reporting requirements were not initially met, the building itself did not experience any bedbug infestations during that period. Looking further back, the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections, with successful evaluations in both September 2012 and February 2011.

The pattern of violations appears to stem primarily from administrative non-compliance with reporting requirements rather than any indication of persistent pest issues, though the repeated nature of the bedbug report violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance procedures. The most recent bedbug report from 2024, while indicating no infestations, does show that the building was required to report for the 2022-2023 period, suggesting some level of oversight regarding infestation monitoring, even if the violation notices indicate previous reporting lapses.
