4248 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 4248 Surf Avenue in Sea Gate, owned by Carmelo Figueroa, has experienced several notable incidents since 2021. Most recently, as of April 2024, there is an open violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, following similar violations documented in March 2023 and March 2022.

These bedbug report violations, though concerning, are administrative in nature and not necessarily indicative of an active infestation. The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency complaint in December 2021, which was investigated and promptly resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within 24 hours of the complaint being filed.

Prior to these issues, the building had maintained a relatively clean record, with the only bedbug reporting period documented from November 2019 to October 2020 showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units. While the open bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant ongoing compliance issue, it's worth noting that these violations have persisted over multiple years while the building has consistently documented no actual infestations during the past reporting period.
