896 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 896 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Gilbert James and constructed in 1930, has undergone several significant inspections and reporting requirements over recent years, with particular attention to pest management. Most notably, the building has been subject to recurring violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, with notifications issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

However, the most recent bedbug report from April 2024 indicates no current infestations, with zero infested units and no eradicated or re-infested units reported for the period between November 2022 and October 2023. This follows a previous report from May 2022 that documented two eradicated units from the prior reporting period (2020-2021), suggesting prior bedbug issues that were addressed. The building's pest management history shows some improvement, as evidenced by these recent reports showing no current infestations.

In terms of general building conditions, the property has passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2018, though specific pest management strategies and their effectiveness have not been detailed in the available records. While the building has had multiple violations requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance, the most recent filings indicate proactive management of pest issues, with no current infestations reported as of April 2024. The consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations over the years suggests historical challenges with pest management compliance, though the recent reports show improvement in addressing these requirements, with no current infestations and proper reporting completed as of the latest filing.
