1701 Benson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1701 Benson Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Giuseppe Graziano and constructed in 1922, has maintained a generally good record over recent years, though there have been recurring administrative requirements related to pest control. The building has been consistently free of bedbug infestations since at least 2019, as evidenced by the bedbug reports from 2021, 2023, and most recently in June 2024, all showing zero infested dwelling units.

However, the property has received four consecutive housing maintenance code violations between 2021 and 2024, all regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though these violations were subsequently closed. Looking further back, the building experienced some rodent activity in July 2012, for which an initial inspection noted rat activity, though a subsequent inspection in June 2011 had shown no such issues and resulted in a passing grade.

The property's recent history has been relatively uneventful, with the most significant recurring issue being the administrative oversights regarding bedbug report filings, rather than any actual pest infestations or other maintenance concerns that would directly impact resident quality of life. Each of the bedbug report violations appears to represent a procedural oversight rather than a failure to control or address an infestation, as demonstrated by the consistently reported zero infested units in the subsequent filings.
