Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 211 Bay 28th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Scher Family LLC, has maintained a consistent and thorough approach to bedbug reporting since 2022. Originally cited in April 2021 and February 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, the property has since complied rigorously with reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing no infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period.

Between 2022 and 2025, the building has demonstrated a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports consistently indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units across multiple reporting periods (2022-2023, 2023-2024). The property's documentation shows a proactive response to the initial violations, with no further HMC violations recorded since February 2022. The building, constructed in 1924 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has shown no significant safety or maintenance issues on record over the past several years, with the only notable pattern being the previous omission of bedbug reports which has been fully rectified.
