6907 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 6907 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Isabella Castrogiovanni and constructed in 1923, has a significant history of housing maintenance code violations and recent compliance issues. Most notably, the building has an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, suggesting continued non-compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting regulations.

The property has also faced serious concerns regarding unauthorized modifications, with multiple violations documented in 2020 related to an illegally converted cellar apartment. These violations include improper use of rooms for living purposes (with an associated $6,250 penalty), unauthorized plumbing installations, and an illegal suspended ceiling, though a complaint investigation in December 2020 found no violation warranted at that time.

The building's permit records show two permits issued in 2020 and 2022, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. While these permits were properly filed, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent the most pressing current compliance issue for the property. The repeated nature of the bedbug reporting violations, along with the serious concerns about illegal alterations in 2020, suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, though it's worth noting that the illegal apartment conversion issues were addressed through a citation and penalty process.
