874 East 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

874 East 46th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Built in 1940 and currently owned by Mable Scott, this property has undergone a conversion to Class A status.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2021 and 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. While these violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, it's notable that the official bedbug infestation reports for the building during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods show no recorded infestations, with all counts of infested, eradicated, and re-infested dwelling units listed as zero. As of the most recent inspection in April 2024, there remains an open violation related to bedbug reporting compliance, though this does not necessarily indicate an ongoing infestation issue.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows a period of zero infestations being reported from 2019 to 2021, with annual filings in August 2022 covering the 2020-2021 period and November 2021 covering the 2019-2020 period, both showing no infestation activity. While the property has maintained a lack of documented infestations during this time frame, the ongoing violations related to reporting compliance suggest a need for improved adherence to HPD requirements, though these violations do not directly correlate to current pest conditions. The most recent open violation from April 2024 marks the third consecutive year requiring a bedbug report, following similar violations in 2022 and 2023, indicating this has become an administrative pattern rather than a public health concern.
