6618 Wallaston Court, Brooklyn, NY 11204

6618 Wallaston Court is a two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst and owned by Alba Surace. Built in 1935, the building has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

However, the building's bedbug status has shown improvement, with the July 2024 report covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicating zero infested units and no cases of eradication or re-infestation. The property's history also includes a notable structural concern from 2018, when a complaint about falling debris was filed and subsequently inspected, leading to a stop work order that was fully rescinded on November 7, 2018.

This incident coincided with an Environmental Control Board violation for unauthorized construction work, specifically involving masonry work and replacement of lintels, for which an $800 penalty was imposed. Following these events, the building received proper permits for the work in question, with a permit for alteration work issued on October 22, 2018. While the bedbug reporting violations represent a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance codes, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an officially recorded status of zero bedbug infestations in recent reports, and there have been no recorded health or safety violations since the 2018 issues were resolved.
