2371 Benson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 2371 Benson Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Oswald Rodgers and constructed in 1924 as a new law tenement, has exhibited a concerning pattern of open violations related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years.

Specifically, the building has received identical Class A violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, each citing the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by NYC Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC. These recurring violations suggest persistent non-compliance with mandatory health and safety reporting requirements, though it is notable that these violations do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation in the building.

In terms of permitted work, a permit for exterior work (EW) was issued on January 4, 2022, under job number 340830738, though specific details about the nature or completion of this work are not provided in the available data. While the building's age and configuration are typical for the Gravesend neighborhood, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations represents the most significant ongoing compliance issue within this building's recent history.
