AI summary · updated June 2026

The property at 8013 15th Avenue in Bensonhurst is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by John Moccia. The building's most pressing current issues relate to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in both 2023 and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. These violations appear to be administrative in nature, as the building's documented bedbug history suggests minimal actual infestation problems; the bedbug report for the 2020-2021 filing period showed zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. It's also worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent issues, having passed a rodent inspection in January 2010.

The building's violation history shows a pattern of bedbug report compliance issues over multiple years, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though the 2022-2023 reporting period showed no actual bedbug presence. While the open violations are technically breaches of the Housing Maintenance Code, the absence of documented bedbug infestations or infestations in the recent reporting period may indicate that the violations are more procedural than indicative of current pest problems. Given that the most recent violations are from 2023 and 2024, this issue appears to be ongoing, though the actual impact on resident experience is mitigated by the lack of documented infestations in recent years. The building is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," though the specific implications of this classification are not detailed in the available data.
