1740 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1740 79th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Carmine Forte, has a mixed record of compliance with housing maintenance codes and safety regulations since its construction in 1931 as a New Law tenement.
The building has consistently received violations for not filing the mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent report filed for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows zero infested units, suggesting either effective pest management or indicating no recent infestations at that time.
Most notably, the building currently has an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the required 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of now and could potentially impact building safety systems. On a more positive note, the building passed an initial rodent inspection in November 2011, indicating no immediate concerns with rodent infestations at that time.
