657 Winthrop Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 657 Winthrop Street in East Flatbush, owned by Joseph Richards, has consistently failed to comply with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) from 2021 through 2024.

Each year during this four-year period, starting in April 2021 and most recently in April 2024, the building received Class A violations for not filing the required annual bedbug report as per HPD regulations, though no certified dates for compliance have been recorded. These open violations indicate an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with this specific housing maintenance requirement, which has implications for resident safety and comfort.

The building's inspection history also shows one rodent inspection conducted in May 2019, which was successfully passed, suggesting that there were no rodent-related issues at that time. However, the persistent bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggest that while the building may have maintained some standards in other areas (as evidenced by the passed rodent inspection), there are ongoing regulatory compliance issues that have not been addressed through proper reporting channels.
