3796 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 3796 Surf Avenue in Sea Gate, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jack Thelusma, has had consistent bedbug reporting requirements as evidenced by regular Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open violation for failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern of non-compliance that began in 2021.

While the earlier violations from 2021 through 2023 were eventually closed, this recent open violation indicates ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance. The building's official bedbug reporting for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 shows a recorded count of zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting that while the mandatory reporting requirements were not properly submitted, there may not have been any actual bedbug infestations during that period.

However, the repeated violations related to bedbug report filings, culminating in an open violation in 2024, raises concerns about the building's adherence to housing maintenance code requirements. The most recent violation is particularly noteworthy as it remains unresolved as of April 2024, representing a deviation from the pattern of previously closed violations.
