2029 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

As of July 2025, 2029 78th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Veselj Taganovic, is a three-story, six-unit tenement building constructed in 1924 that has consistently failed to comply with mandatory Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding bedbug reporting.

The building has accumulated four consecutive housing violations between 2021 and 2024, all citing failures to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department as mandated under Section HMC:FILE. These violations, classified as "A" for serious, remain open as of the latest inspection date in April 2024, with no records of certification or resolution.

While these violations specifically relate to documentation rather than directly indicating a bedbug infestation, the pattern of non-compliance over multiple years suggests ongoing administrative oversight regarding pest management reporting requirements. The building's twenty-first century history shows a persistent pattern of bedbug-related documentation failures, with no recorded improvements or resolutions to these violations despite the passage of multiple years since the initial citation in April 2021.
