531 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 531 East 96th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Boston Barthelemy, has a documented pattern of bedbug reporting violations over the past several years.

Starting in 2021, the building consistently received Class A violations for not filing the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open. However, according to the official bedbug reporting data, while the building was required to file reports for the period from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022, there were no confirmed cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during that timeframe, a pattern that appears to have continued in subsequent years based on the lack of reported infestations.

The building's violation history shows a temporary period of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with violations being recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. It's worth noting that while these violations indicate administrative non-compliance, the actual infestation reports show no documented issues of bedbugs in the dwelling units during the reporting period, suggesting that the violations may be more procedural than indicative of an ongoing pest problem.
