2236 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story residential building at 2236 79th Street in Gravesend, owned by Ivette Markov and constructed in 1990, has experienced several regulatory challenges over the past years. Most notably, the building faced a series of Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with all violations ultimately being closed. There was a significant period of concern between 2019 and 2022 related to unauthorized basement work, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations against respondent Igor Vernovsky, totaling penalties of $10,030 across several citations.

The initial violation in December 2019 described unpermitted demolition, partition erection, and electrical and plumbing work. These ECB violations were resolved, with records showing compliance was achieved and penalties paid. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2025 demonstrates consistent compliance with HPD requirements, with zero reported infestations in all five annual filings. Additionally, a DOB violation from 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation was dismissed in 2021. While the building has had its share of regulatory challenges, particularly regarding unauthorized construction work in 2019-2020, the current state of the building shows proper bedbug management and resolution of prior construction-related violations.
