1989 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

This two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 1989 East 7th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Osher Kalmanowitz and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with its mandatory bedbug reporting compliance over recent years. The most concerning pattern emerges from the most recent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022, all of which resulted in Class A violations for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These violations remain open as of the latest available data in October 2023. While there was a closed violation in 2021 for the same bedbug reporting requirement, it's noteworthy that during the 2019-2020 reporting period (filing completed in August 2021), the building reported no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting at least temporary compliance with eradication protocols at that time.

However, the subsequent three consecutive years of violations (2022-2024) for failure to file the required reports indicates ongoing neglect of this compliance requirement. The building's relatively simple structure and small unit count (4 units in 2 stories) means that any bedbug infestation would potentially affect all units, making these compliance issues particularly significant from a resident safety and comfort perspective.
