440 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 440 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Tony Bryan, has been subject to recurring bedbug-related violations over the past four years, from 2021 to 2024. Each of these violations, classified as "A" under the Housing Maintenance Code, pertained to the owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Interestingly, while these violations were issued, the most recent bedbug report filed in August 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicated no affected units, no eradication efforts needed, and no instances of re-infestation. This suggests that despite the administrative violations, the building might not have had an actual bedbug problem during the reporting period.

The building's maintenance record shows one rodent inspection conducted in July 2012, which resulted in a passing grade, though this inspection is quite dated relative to the current date. With no other recorded violations or inspections in recent history, and given the age of the building (constructed in 1930 under new law tenement classification), it appears that for the past several years, the primary compliance issue has been the administrative oversight regarding bedbug reporting requirements, rather than any persistent pest-related problems. The most recent bedbug report indicates successful compliance with HPD requirements as of August 2024, though the previous four years of violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance that has only recently been rectified.
