1756 West 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1756 West 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Joseph Marchiano, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the building's repeated failures to file required annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 through 2024, resulting in four open Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code related to this ongoing non-compliance.

The property has also faced rodent-related challenges, with two 311 complaints about rodent activity in 2024 (one in April and one in January), though both incidents were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and did not result in any violations. Importantly, follow-up rodent inspections in April 2024 and January 2024 were conducted and both passed, indicating some responsiveness to addressing the rodent concerns.

The building's records suggest an ongoing pattern of bedbug report non-compliance that has persisted through multiple years, which is particularly notable given the regulated nature of these reporting requirements. While recent rodent complaints have been addressed through inspections that resulted in passing grades, the property has a documented history of pest management challenges that have required multiple inspections and interventions. The building, constructed in 1926, falls under the "New Law Tenement" classification, which typically applies to older multi-family buildings in New York City that are subject to specific regulatory requirements.
