2223 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-unit, three-story building at 2223 79th Street in Gravesend, currently owned by Artie Bongiovanni, has been under consistent scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. Since 2021, the property has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) specifically related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While the bedbug report from May 2021 showed no documented infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period, the ongoing open violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggest continued non-compliance with the reporting requirements, despite no recorded infestations in the earlier documented period. The building was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, indicating it was converted from its original usage but retains many of its original structural features.

The property has experienced relatively few documented housing maintenance issues beyond the bedbug reporting violations, with only one previous bedbug reporting violation in 2021 that was subsequently closed following the May 2021 filing. The ongoing nature of the bedbug reporting violations, spanning multiple years, is the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, suggesting potential challenges with regulatory compliance despite the apparent lack of active infestations during the documented reporting periods.
