2609 Cropsey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 2609 Cropsey Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Laiying Tan and constructed in 2014, has been consistently non-compliant with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years.

The most recent open housing maintenance code violations from April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022 are all linked to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with the HPD, as mandated by § HMC. While there was a bedbug reporting requirement violation in April 2021, this particular violation was closed.

Interestingly, during the bedbug reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020, the building reported zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, suggesting that while the building has not adhered to reporting requirements, there may not have been any actual infestations during that specific reporting period. The persistent pattern of bedbug report violations in recent years, with the most current violations remaining open as of 2024, indicates an ongoing disregard for mandatory health and safety reporting requirements, though it should be noted that these violations pertain primarily to reporting procedures rather than direct evidence of current infestations.
