414 Caton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 414 Caton Avenue in Kensington, owned by Sarah Woods, has been in operation since 1901 and has undergone numerous inspections and regulatory requirements over the years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open violation for not filing the required annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern from previous years (2021-2023) where similar violations were recorded for the same reporting requirement.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no actual infestations or treatment cases between 2020-2022, with all reported dwelling units remaining free of the pest during that period. The property has a notable history of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, particularly in the mid-1980s when several violations were documented, including problems with building lighting, vestibule maintenance, and a requirement to legalize certain alterations including an iron fence removal and curb cut.

These violations were eventually certified as corrected in 2023. A more recent lighting-related violation from 2019, which required the front entranceway lighting to comply with minimum wattage requirements, was also resolved. While the building has maintained periodic compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in previous years, the recent open violation from 2024 suggests either an oversight in filing or a technical issue with the submission process that would still require correction under housing maintenance code requirements.
