1535 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 1535 71st Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Nicholas Gagliardi, has been subject to several notable issues despite being a relatively small property. Most recently, there has been consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with the latest annual report from April 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

While this indicates good current management of the bedbug situation, it is worth noting that the building received four formal violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed. The property has a history of fence-related complaints between late 2018 and early 2019, with multiple reports of inadequate or illegal fencing, culminating in an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2019 regarding a fence exceeding the permitted height of 6 feet, as it was documented at approximately 11 feet high. This resulted in a $500 penalty that remains due as of the latest records.

Additionally, there were concerns about the building's certificate of occupancy during this period, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in May 2019 but was closed in March 2020 with no violation warranted at the time of inspection. While the building's recent records show no urgent active violations or health concerns, the property has experienced various compliance issues over the past years that required monitoring and correction.
