446 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-unit, three-story building at 446 East 4th Street in Kensington, owned by Kathleen Foster and constructed in 1910, has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years. While the building has received four class A violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), these violations have all been properly closed, indicating that the owner responded to the citations.

Importantly, all bedbug reports submitted during this period (2019-2024) show no documented infestations, with the most recent report for the period ending October 31, 2023, indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The bedbug reporting history demonstrates proactive management, as all violations were addressed through subsequent filings that confirmed the absence of infestations.

The most recent bedbug report, filed in April 2024, covers the period from November 2022 to October 2023 and continues the pattern of confirming non-infestation status. The building's management appears to have resolved the reporting compliance issues, as evidenced by the January 2024 inspection being marked as closed with no current open violations. The consistent pattern of submitting bedbug reports showing no infestations, despite the initial reporting violations, suggests that while there were administrative lapses in the past, the building has maintained a pest-free environment during the reporting periods.
