6412 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 6412 20th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Privitelli, has been subject to recurring issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.

Notably, the building's bedbug reporting records indicate successful compliance in 2021 and 2022, showing no infested units during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods, with zero units recorded as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. Prior to this pattern of violations, there was a single complaint regarding electrical wiring in 2018, which was inspected and determined not to warrant any violations.

The historical records suggest that while the building has maintained an effective bedbug eradication program, the property management has struggled with timely compliance to reporting requirements, as evidenced by the pattern of violations. The most recent bedbug report from 2022-2023 maintained the trend of reporting no infestation, though the subsequent violation in April 2024 indicates potential lapses in documentation rather than actual infestation issues. The building has been classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" since its 1931 construction, which typically indicates a conversion from transient or non-permanent use to permanent residential apartments.
