1913 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, three-unit building at 1913 70th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Dennis Middlebrooks, has a building history dating back to 1930 as a New Law tenement. The property has been actively monitored for bedbug compliance over the past five years, with four Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021-2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

While these violations were marked as "Closed," it is notable that the most recent violation from April 2024 remains Open as of September 2025. However, the bedbug reporting records show no actual infestations in the specified periods between 2019-2020 and 2021-2022, with all units recorded as either uninfested or fully eradicated. More recently, the building has experienced some pest control challenges, with a rat sighting reported in September 2024, though this complaint was investigated and closed with no violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Following that, a rodent inspection conducted in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by the recent inspections passing status. While the building's record shows consistent monitoring and reporting requirements being addressed, the presence of both Open bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent activities may be of interest to prospective tenants, though both issues appear to be receiving attention through regular inspections and compliance efforts.
