AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 29 Bay 28th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Dennis Ma and constructed in 1940, has been consistently cited for failure to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A violation for not filing the mandatory bedbug report, following similar violations in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021. These recurring violations, which indicate non-compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting rules as outlined by HPD, suggest a persistent oversight in maintaining required documentation related to pest control and building maintenance. While these violations specifically relate to paperwork requirements rather than direct health or safety hazards, the pattern of non-compliance over multiple years merits attention to the building's overall maintenance oversight.
