140 Bay 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

140 Bay 49th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Gravesend, Brooklyn, constructed in 1988 and currently owned by the Sau Man Anna Wong Lau Irrevocable Trust. The building has recently encountered ongoing compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) of such violations.

These violations indicate the building's management's failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), despite previous years' reports (2021-2023) showing no confirmed bedbug infestations during the respective reporting periods. The building's documented history shows no actual bedbug infestations, with all reports between 2019 and 2022 (most recently in April 2023) indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and no instances of re-infestation.

While the repeated violations suggest administrative oversights in filing requirements rather than substantive pest control issues, the consistent pattern of non-compliance may raise concerns about overall building management practices. It's worth noting that the building's structure has not been associated with any other significant safety or maintenance violations over the available records, which primarily focus on the bedbug reporting requirement.
