1770 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1770 79th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by George Firrantello, is a New Law tenement constructed in 1931. The building's recent history shows consistent and proactive management of pest control regulations, particularly concerning bedbugs.

While the building received two housing maintenance code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the delayed filing of annual bedbug reports, these were subsequently resolved. Notably, the property has maintained a perfect record in its subsequent bedbug reporting, with all filings from 2022 through 2025 indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, demonstrating effective pest management practices. The building's maintenance history shows no documented rodent infestations since an initial inspection in November 2011, which resulted in a passing grade.

The property's documented violations from 2021-2022 appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation, and the timely resolution thereof suggests responsive property management. The consistent pattern of bedbug reporting with no recorded infestations over the past several years represents a significant positive trend in building maintenance and resident safety. Looking at the building's full history, the most significant recent improvement has been the establishment of a reliable system for bedbug monitoring and reporting, with no confirmed infestations recorded since 2019.
