142 Bay 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 142 Bay 8th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Martina Mellace, has been under consistent bedbug reporting scrutiny from 2021 to 2023. Records show repeated violations from 2021 through 2023, specifically regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

Notably, while these violations were officially marked as "closed," they reflect ongoing compliance issues related to pest management protocol adherence. However, it's important to highlight a positive trend in the building's recent bedbug reporting history. The property has maintained a clean record regarding actual infestations, with the most recent filings (December 2023 and April 2023) showing zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation.

This pattern of no reported infestations extends back through the previous filing period as well, indicating that while there were compliance issues regarding report submission in previous years, the building has not experienced any actual bedbug infestations since 2020, when the reports showed zero infested units. The building, constructed in 1920, is classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A," indicating its current designation as a legal multiple dwelling. While the bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant compliance issue on record, the building's recent track record of no reported infestations suggests effective pest management practices are currently in place, despite the historical pattern of reporting violations.
