8684 16th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 8684 16th Avenue in Bath Beach, built in 1901 and owned by Anthony Pennacchio, has experienced several notable events over the past few years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. From 2021 through 2024, the building received four separate Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though these violations were ultimately marked as closed.

Importantly, the most recent bedbug report filed in April 2024 indicated zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the filing period from November 2022 to October 2023, suggesting effective management of the bedbug situation following the compliance issues. The property also faced a significant infrastructure-related incident in 2019-2020, when a complaint was filed regarding an illegal curb cut and parking pad installation at the side yard.

This situation resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, noting potential hazards to the public sidewalk and obstruction of a fire escape drop ladder at the rear of the residence. While the records show this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed, the incident highlights a period of non-compliance with building code requirements. The building's reporting history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements since 2021, with no further noted violations beyond the initial bedbug reporting issues, and the most recent filings indicate active management of both bedbug prevention measures and compliance with city regulations.
