1339 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, 5-unit residential building at 1339 70th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Salvatore Lentini, has been repeatedly cited for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with HPD over a four-year period from 2021 to 2024, resulting in four open class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. In February 2019, the building experienced a cluster of maintenance issues, including two separate complaints about radiator plumbing problems and one flooring issue, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in these cases.

Additionally, there were two complaints about chemical vapors, gases, or odors affecting indoor air quality in February 2019, which triggered a review by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with the investigation process outlined in the resolution description. While the building appears to have had no major incidents or violations since the 2019 complaints were addressed, the persistent bedbug reporting violation issue from 2021 through 2024 suggests ongoing noncompliance with housing maintenance regulations.

It's noteworthy that all previously reported issues from 2019 were resolved without violations being issued, and there have been no documented complaints or violations related to the building's conditions in the most recent reporting periods. The building's ownership and management structure maintains its classification as a "New Law Tenement," which refers to buildings constructed prior to 1947 that are subject to specific rent regulation laws in New York City.
