1726 Mermaid Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

1726 Mermaid Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Edwin Cosme. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with zero reported infestations and successful eradications documented in annual reports from 2022 through 2025.

While the property has experienced some maintenance and regulatory issues over the years, most have been resolved in a timely manner. Notable incidents include a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which was dismissed in May 2023, and a 2018 issue with an unpermitted illuminated business awning installation that was resolved through the Environmental Control Board process with no penalties imposed. The building's recent history shows relatively good maintenance practices, with all bedbug reports showing zero infested units.

A rodent sighting was reported in 2019, though this was followed by a successful inspection that same month, and the building had passed prior rodent inspections in 2010 and 2009. The property has shown compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with a specific violation in both 2021 and 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been more of an administrative nature than indicating an actual infestation problem. The building's history includes some infrastructure-related complaints, such as a 2021 electrical wiring complaint that resulted in no violations found, and a 2018 complaint about a potentially dangerous sign that was addressed immediately.
