159 Bay 32nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 159 Bay 32nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Sharon Pinsker, has maintained a generally good maintenance record since its construction in 2005. The property has had consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations throughout the past five years (2020-2025).

This includes the most recent 2024 filing which showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building experienced a rat sighting incident in July 2020, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene - however, no violations were found and the property passed subsequent rodent inspections in August 2020. A pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations was noted between 2021 and 2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though these do not indicate actual infestations.

Despite receiving multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) for failing to file these reports (specifically on March 9, 2022; March 31, 2023; and April 17, 2024), the building has consistently reported zero bedbug cases in subsequent filings. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2024, covering the 2022-2023 period, continues to show no infestations, which suggests the building has now achieved compliance with the reporting requirements. While the repeated violations for reporting failures are notable, they appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicating any ongoing pest management issues, particularly given the confirmed absence of bedbug cases.
