44 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 44 Quentin Road in Gravesend, owned by Catherine Lazzara and dating back to 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues and safety concerns over the past few years. Most notably, the building faced multiple violations in late 2022, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2L). These included defective smoke detectors, a faulty carbon monoxide detector, and issues with self-closing doors.

The building also required repairs to a bathtub waste line, a sliding door, and various public area features including the main entrance lock and hallway obstructions. The property has undergone two inspections specifically regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024, with current records indicating no infestations during the reporting periods. The most recent documented bedbug report (filed in May 2024) shows zero infested or eradicated units, continuing a pattern of no infestations that extends back to at least 2019. The building experienced three service requests in October 2022, which included inspections for door/window issues, a bathtub/shower problem, and unsanitary conditions concerning pests.

While the door/window complaint was classified as an emergency, only the door issue resulted in violations being issued, though all complaints were ultimately closed. While many violations from late 2022 were certified as corrected by November 2022, there remains an interesting pattern of repeated bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent notice in April 2024 indicating missing annual report filings for both 2023 and 2024, despite no actual infestations being reported. In summary, 44 Quentin Road has experienced multiple maintenance issues historically, particularly in late 2022, but with significant improvements and clarity in recent years. The building's most prominent ongoing concern appears to be related to administrative compliance rather than actual pest control issues, as evidenced by the recent bedbug report filings showing no infestations across multiple reporting periods since 2019.
