136 Bay 32nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, six-unit multi-family building at 136 Bay 32nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Gaetano Zappulla, has a 100-year history dating back to its construction in 1925 as a New Law Tenement. The building has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past four years related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 and previous violations in March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021.

While these violations indicate a persistent issue with compliance to annual bedbug reporting requirements, it's noteworthy that the building's official bedbug reporting from July 2022 for the period between November 2020 and October 2021 showed no infested or previously infested units, suggesting that while there may have been concerns regarding reporting compliance, actual infestations appear to have been effectively managed when they occurred. The historical violation pattern reveals a concerning trend of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive years of violations from 2021 through 2024, three of which remain open as of the latest inspection date.

The building's bedbug reporting record from 2020-2021 showed no units with infestations or successful eradications, but this data is over two years old as of 2025. The consistent violations, particularly the most recent open violation from April 2024, suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with HPD bedbug reporting requirements, though this does not necessarily indicate current infestation issues given the previous reporting history.
