76 Battery Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

76 Battery Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Fort Hamilton, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Maryann Alessio. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the building's official bedbug reports for 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 indicated no infestations, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing compliance issues with reporting requirements. The property has also faced some regulatory challenges unrelated to bedbugs. In 2022, there was a construction-related complaint regarding work being conducted beyond approved plans, which resulted in a violation being served, and a separate Environmental Control Board violation was issued for failure to conduct or file a final inspection of permitted work, carrying a penalty of $625.

An active complaint from 2019 regarding an illegal business sign or awning remains on record with the Department of Buildings. Additionally, there was a DOB violation issued in 2020 that was eventually dismissed in 2022 based on subsequent reports showing corrected defects. While these various issues have been addressed individually, the most concerning pattern continues to be the recurring bedbug reporting violations, which have persisted despite the building's official reports indicating no infestations during the specified periods.
