1400 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, three-unit building at 1400 Bay Ridge Parkway in Bensonhurst, owned by Joseph Panetta, was constructed in 1920 and has experienced several notable interactions with housing regulations over the past few years. Most significantly, the property has had recurring issues with failing to file bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

However, all bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no evidence of infestation, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported in any of the filings. This pattern suggests that while there were administrative compliance issues, the actual pest management situation in the building has been well-maintained. The building also had one significant environmental control board violation in December 2018 related to unauthorized modifications of the property, specifically concerning an illegally painted yellow curb approximately 15 feet long where two vehicles were parked in contravention of zoning codes.

This violation resulted in a $500 penalty, though the balance due was reported as $0. Despite these issues, the recent bedbug report from March 2024 shows proper compliance with the reporting requirements for the most recent filing period of November 2022 to October 2023, indicating potential improvement in regulatory compliance. The building's violation history shows a pattern of issues primarily related to administrative compliance rather than physical safety concerns, with no recent violations recorded through 2024 that would directly impact resident safety or comfort.
