8714 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, three-unit building at 8714 20th Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Gary Imperiale, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning is an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While there have been two reports of unsanitary conditions related to a private property cat in 2018 and 2019, these complaints were ultimately closed, with one inspection pending resolution and another resulting in no documented outcome. The building's pest control history shows mixed results, with three rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2019.

The most recent inspection in September 2019 passed, while an earlier inspection in August 2018 failed for unspecified reasons. It's worth noting that the property, built in 1899, has maintained its original status as a "heretofore converted Class A" building. Given the age of the property and its persistent bedbug reporting violations, along with a history of animal-related complaints, this building presents certain maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, as evidenced by the open status of its most recent violations.
