1782 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The property at 1782 78th Street in Bensonhurst is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Alfreda Gabanska. The building has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all specifically citing non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirements.

These violations, while appearing frequently, have coincided with periods where the building showed no actual infestation problems, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report filing in August 2024, which covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023 and indicated zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestations. The only other documented inspection of the building was a rodent inspection in November 2011, which resulted in a passing grade.

The building's violation history suggests a pattern of administrative oversights regarding bedbug reporting requirements rather than indicating ongoing pest control issues, as there have been no documented infestations or pest control interventions in over three years. While the repeated bedbug reporting violations are notable, the building's recent bedbug report shows effective management of pest control, with no actual infestations to report. The property remains classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, which typically refers to a structure that has been converted from its original use to a residential format, and this classification along with its two-story, three-unit configuration is consistent with its historical construction date.
