209 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The two-unit, two-story residential building at 209 Avenue U in Gravesend, owned by Giuseppe Carucci, has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.
However, recent bedbug reporting records from 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 show no reported infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units noted in the most recent filing from May 2025. More recently, in early 2024, the building faced an Environmental Control Board violation and associated penalty of $1,280 related to an unpermitted business awning/sign installation for "Etna Espresso Bar," which is currently listed as an active violation. This violation appears to be the most significant recent issue concerning building modifications or safety concerns.
The building's history also includes a Department of Buildings complaint from late 2023 regarding an illegal storefront or business sign, which was resolved in early 2024 with an Oath Violation served. While the bedbug reporting compliance issues represent a pattern of administrative oversights, the most recent bedbug filings indicate proper compliance with no current infestations. The active violation regarding the unpermitted business awning/sign is the only pending regulatory issue as of 2025, though its impact on residential units is likely minimal if the business operates from an appropriate designated area.
