709 Warwick Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit residential building at 709 Warwick Street in East New York, owned by Merle Paul, has experienced persistent administrative compliance issues over the past several years, most notably regarding bedbug reporting. Since 2021, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021 through 2024) related to the owner's failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open.

These recurring violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance despite the building being relatively new, having been constructed in 2005. The building's rodent inspection history from 2011 to 2012 presents a mixed picture, with initial inspections in October 2011 and July 2012 showing rat activity, while a compliance inspection in November 2011 indicated the presence of rats, though an earlier inspection in March 2011 had passed.

While these rodent issues were documented over a decade ago, they represent the building's only recorded pest control challenge prior to the more recent bedbug reporting violations. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violation notifications over the past four years is the most significant and ongoing compliance issue affecting the property, occurring at approximately annual intervals and notably continuing into 2024 without resolution as of the most recent available data.
