1651 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

Located in Bensonhurst, 1651 79th Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1932, currently owned by Antonetta Pollina. This New Law Tenement has undergone regular bedbug reporting and inspections over the past several years, with the most recent building inspection in April 2024 resulting in an open violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

This marks the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) that the building has received a violation notice regarding bedbug report compliance, though the building's official filings from 2021 through 2023 consistently indicate zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the respective reporting periods. It's worth noting that all previous bedbug violation notices from 2021 through 2023 have been closed, suggesting compliance was achieved, albeit temporarily, before the most recent open violation in 2024.

The building has a history of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in November 2011 showing no issues. The property has maintained relatively stable housing conditions, with the primary concern being the recurring bedbug report compliance violations, though actual infestation issues appear to have been effectively managed based on the official reports. The building's documented history shows no other significant violations or safety concerns on record, and no recent complaints about resident experience beyond the bedbug reporting requirements.
