1019 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1019 71st Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Michelle Zillini, has a documented history dating back to its 1899 construction. The property is currently facing multiple housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

The building's recent maintenance record includes a standing water complaint filed with DOHMH in June 2022, though this issue was closed on the same day. A significant illegal conversion complaint was filed in August 2018, resulting in an ECB violation (number 35362177L) with an active penalty of $6,250 related to work conducted without a permit. This violation appears to be connected to a previous notice from November 2017 regarding unauthorized work.

The property has undergone four bedbug reporting periods between 2019 and 2020, with the most recent report (filed April 2021) indicating zero infested units, though this was during a period when violation notices were already being issued for failure to submit required reports. A failure to maintain complaint was filed in June 2021, though the inspector ultimately could not gain access during the second final attempt. Given the age of the building and these various maintenance issues, the property has experienced ongoing regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding its compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and unauthorized modifications.
