324 Senator Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 324 Senator Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Daniel Collins and constructed in 1915, has demonstrated recurring compliance issues with New York City's Housing Maintenance Code over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been four documented violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement, with three of these violations currently remaining open as of April 2024.

These violations, all classified as 'A' violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, indicate the building's management has consistently failed to submit the required annual bedbug report to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) as mandated by local regulations. Interestingly, the building's documented bedbug history presents a somewhat contradictory picture; while the 2021 bedbug report (filed in May 2021) covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 showed zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting no actual bedbug presence during that reporting period.

This raises questions about the consistency of reporting and compliance with bedbug regulations. Prior to the current violation status, there was a brief period of compliance, as evidenced by a closed violation in 2021, though it remains unclear whether this was followed by subsequent non-compliance or if reporting requirements simply continued to be overlooked.
