735 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

735 Shepherd Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in East New York, built in 1920 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, owned by Rafael Baez, has experienced a recurring pattern of bedbug-related administrative violations over the past four years (2021-2024), with the Department of Housing Maintenance Code issuing citations for failure to file annual bedbug reports.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, as well as the previous year's report from September 2023 covering November 2021 to October 2022, showed no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. This suggests that while the building has had issues with timely reporting requirements, there have been no actual bedbug infestations in recent years.

The building's conditions appear generally stable based on available inspection records, with successful rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2018, and no recorded violations related to other major maintenance issues or safety concerns. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations (four instances from 2021-2024) may indicate challenges with administrative compliance, though the lack of documented infestations in the subsequent reports could suggest effective pest management despite the paperwork issues. The most recent bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been met as of May 2024, potentially indicating improved compliance with housing maintenance regulations.
