106 Bay 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 106 Bay 43rd Street in Gravesend, owned by Frank Sparacio, has a concerning pattern of bedbug reporting violations over the past several years.

Most notably, there are currently three open violations (as of 2024) related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with similar violations noted in 2023 and 2022. These violations follow a period when the building had complied with the requirement, as evidenced by a closed violation from April 2021.

The bedbug report for the 2019-2020 filing period, submitted in July 2021, indicated no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no cases of re-infestation, suggesting that while the building had previously met reporting requirements, there may have been either oversight or issues with the current reporting system in subsequent years. The building, constructed in 1965 and later converted to Class A residence status, appears to have maintained its original structure with no significant recorded alterations or additional violations affecting resident safety or comfort during the past four years, aside from the recurring bedbug reporting issues.
