Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 1937 West 6th Street in Gravesend, owned by Ivan Xie, has had consistent bedbug reporting requirements to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) since 2019, though with notably positive outcomes. While there remains an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, previous violations from 2023 and 2022 were closed without recorded penalties. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2023 show no actual infestations in any of the dwelling units, with consistently recorded counts of zero for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units, suggesting effective management of the reporting requirements and absence of infestation issues.

The property, built in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug problems, with all four annual reports between 2019 and 2023 showing no infestations whatsoever. The building's facilities and management appear to have successfully prevented any bedbug infestations over this four-year period, though the current open violation regarding the bedbug report filing remains outstanding as of April 2024. The absence of any other recorded housing violations or complaints over this period suggests generally stable building conditions, with bedbug report compliance being the primary focus of regulatory oversight.

What's driving this score
