377 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 377 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1930 and currently owned by Felicity Jarbath, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance under the Housing Maintenance Code. The most recent violations, recorded in April 2024 and March 2023, relate to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations are classified as "A" level, which generally indicates they are serious enough to require prompt attention. Prior to these open violations, there were similar bedbug reporting issues in 2022 and 2021, though those violations were closed.

The building's official bedbug reporting records for the period from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021, indicated no infested dwelling units, no units that required eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting that while there have been compliance issues with the reporting requirements, actual bedbug infestations may not have occurred during that timeframe. The pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with meeting bedbug reporting requirements, as similar violations have persisted annually from 2021 through 2024. The persistence of these violations over multiple years, despite the absence of documented infestations, indicates a systematic issue with compliance rather than an ongoing pest problem within the building.
