116 East 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 116 East 57th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Ginette Metelus, has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Most recently, open violations were documented in April 2024 and March 2023, indicating non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements set by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

However, there were two previous violations (from 2021 and 2022) that have been closed. Interestingly, during the 2022 bedbug reporting period (November 2020 to October 2021), the building reported zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting that while there have been reporting compliance issues, the actual bedbug infestation situation may have been under control during that specific period.

The building's history shows a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent violations remaining open as of spring 2024. The property, classified as a "New Law Tenement," was built in 1930 and has experienced relatively few documented issues beyond the bedbug reporting compliance concerns. The persistent nature of these violations, spanning multiple years and inspections, suggests an ongoing challenge with meeting HPD's bedbug reporting requirements, though the actual infestation data from 2022 indicates the building had maintained a bedbug-free status during that specific reporting period.
