608 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 608 East 2nd Street in Kensington, owned by Lutfim Mati, has had a persistent bedbug reporting pattern over the past several years, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open as of now. The building has been consistently documented for not filing the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with similar violations noted in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These violations, while classified as "Class A," which typically indicates less severe issues, suggest ongoing administrative non-compliance regarding pest management reporting requirements. The building's documented bedbug history shows a specific infestation period between November 2021 and October 2022, during which one dwelling unit was identified as infested, another was successfully treated, and one unit experienced re-infestation.

While the violation history primarily concerns reporting compliance rather than active infestations, the pattern of violations over multiple years raises concerns about the building's pest management oversight. It is noteworthy that the most recent bedbug report (filed in May 2023) was submitted nearly six months after the May 2022 due date, indicating potential delays in addressing infestations during that period, though subsequent filings have been more timely. With the current open violation from April 2024 and the building's age (constructed in 1930), residents may continue to experience uncertainties regarding pest management compliance and reporting practices within the property.
