2049 67th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 2049 67th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Antonio Petito and built in 1931, has experienced several concerning issues over the past five years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of Bedbug report violations, with the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violation remaining open since 2021, despite inspections in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with required annual reporting.

The building has also faced significant structural and safety concerns, particularly in 2020, when multiple violations were documented regarding unauthorized construction work in the cellar, including the installation of residential features such as water lines, gas connections, and partitions. This led to four Environmental Control Board violations (with penalties totaling $12,500) in 2021 for failure to comply with correction orders, though records show these were resolved by 2021. The Department of Buildings documented several complaints in 2020, including an illegal conversion complaint in January that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and a complaint regarding work without a permit that was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access on the second final attempt in September 2020.

Additionally, there has been a violation related to failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous violation in 2021, although this was eventually dismissed. While the property has a history of violations and non-compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and bedbug reporting requirements, it's worth noting that many of these violations have been resolved, particularly those related to the 2020 construction issues. However, the ongoing bedbug report violations suggest persistent compliance challenges.
