158 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The three-story, two-unit building at 158 Avenue U in Gravesend, owned by John Buttaro, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2019. Most concerning are the four open violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent inspection occurring in April 2024.
The building has also faced periodic pest-related issues, with a 2019 emergency complaint regarding unsanitary conditions due to pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access. While the property maintained an active status under Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in late 2024, previous inspections in 2024 yielded no violations. Two 2019 complaints regarding unauthorized after-hours work and lack of proper permits were investigated and found to warrant no violations.
The building has experienced some recent external issues, including a May 2025 inspection regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut/driveway, which was referred to the Department of Transportation for review. A food establishment complaint was filed in August 2022 regarding foreign objects in food, though this was eventually administratively closed in 2024. Overall, the building's recent history shows ongoing compliance requirements regarding bedbug reporting and some maintenance issues, though many complaints have been resolved or determined not to constitute violations upon inspection.
