1236 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The four-unit, two-story building at 1236 36th Street in Kensington, owned by Arthur Baccas and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. Most significantly, there is a recurring pattern of administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, with four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024, all citing the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

These ongoing violations, while not directly indicating a current infestation, suggest potential lapses in pest management oversight. The building has also faced several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations. A 2025 complaint regarding work done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

In late 2024 and January 2025, there were inspections related to Local Law 188/17 compliance, with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. A notable incident occurred in 2021 regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway, which led to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation for failure to maintain the property per code requirements, specifically relating to unauthorized off-street parking that created hazards, for which a $500 penalty was imposed and resolved. While many of these issues appear to be administrative in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety, the persistent bedbug reporting violations warrant attention as they reflect on the building's maintenance compliance record.
