701 East 91st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

701 East 91st Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Cory Hewett. The building has experienced some recurring issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all relating to the failure to file the required Annual Bedbug Report as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

These violations suggest ongoing challenges with meeting this particular regulatory requirement. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various violations over the years, including significant issues documented in 2015 when multiple violations were found in the second-floor apartment (2FL), including problems with the gas supply to the cooking range, a missing door knob, and the need for an operational carbon monoxide detecting device - though these were all certified as resolved by 2020. The ground floor apartment (GF) had documented plumbing issues in 2012, including problems with a leaky bathtub faucet and defective toilet flushing apparatus.

More recently, in April 2023, there was an active violation regarding the building's exterior structure, specifically concerning a masonry porch railing that was separating and leaning over the basement entrance door, with associated step cracking. While some historical violations date back to 1988 regarding yard lighting, most recent concerns appear to focus on the building's exterior maintenance and bedbug reporting compliance. The building's official bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations between 2017 and 2020, as reported in filings from 2019 and 2021, suggesting that while there have been compliance issues, there have been no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods.
