236 East 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

236 East 5th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Kensington, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Evelyn Suarez. The building has a consistent record of bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are significant, it's worth noting that the building's actual bedbug infestation history appears minimal, with the most recent report for the period between November 2021 and October 2022 showing zero infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. The only complaint on record was filed in October 2020 regarding site conditions endangering workers, though the investigation was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access on the second attempt.

The most recent bedbug reporting violation from April 2024, which remains open as of this date, suggests continuing compliance issues with the bedbug reporting requirements. The building's bedbug reporting history shows that the owner eventually filed the required documentation in May 2023 for the previous reporting period, though there was a two-year gap between the previously required report period (2021-2022) and the filed report. While the bedbug violations represent the most significant pattern of regulatory issues for this property, the absence of confirmed infestations during the reporting periods is a positive note, though it contrasts with the persistent violations regarding the required reporting.
