574 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 574 78th Street in Bay Ridge, currently owned by Kay Morrone, has been subject to several significant issues over recent years, with the most pressing being the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024. These ongoing violations, classified as Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations, represent a potential risk to tenant comfort and safety, though it's worth noting that no actual bedbug infestations have been documented in these violations.

The building also has an unresolved rodent sighting complaint reported in August 2020, currently marked as "In Progress" with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which is concerning given that this building previously failed a rodent inspection in November 2016 before passing a compliance inspection the following December. Additionally, there was a Certificate of Occupancy complaint in July 2018 related to illegal or contrary occupancy, though this was resolved by December 2018 with no violation warranted at the time of inspection.

The building, constructed in 1925, has shown a pattern of regulatory compliance issues primarily focused on documentation requirements rather than actual pest problems, as evidenced by the recurring bedbug report violation notices. While the property has passed some inspections, including a rodent compliance inspection in 2016 and the Certificate of Occupancy inspection in 2018, the consistent nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing administrative oversight rather than a reactive management approach to building maintenance requirements.
