1653 West 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, three-unit building at 1653 West 4th Street in Gravesend, owned by Gianvito Pesce and constructed in 1930 as a New Law Tenement, has maintained a generally positive track record in recent years, particularly regarding pest control. While the property has experienced four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an actual infestation problem.

All these violations have been closed, and recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022, indicate zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, confirming effective pest management practices. The building's most recent bedbug report (June 2024) shows no infestation concerns during the 2022-2023 period, and the previous report (June 2023) showed similarly clean results for the 2021-2022 period.

The only other relevant inspection on record was a rodent inspection conducted in October 2011, which the building passed. The consistent pattern of bedbug reporting compliance in the past two years, with no reported infestations, suggests that the earlier administrative violations have been resolved through proper reporting procedures, though the building's records indicate these reports have not achieved certified status as of the current date.
