2227 West Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 2227 West Street property in Gravesend is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Letterio Cartella. The building's record reveals persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024, specifically regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations, while primarily administrative, indicate ongoing challenges with pest management communication in the building. Most recently, in April 2025, there were two significant complaints filed with the Department of Buildings regarding potentially unsafe conditions: illegal or defective gas hook-ups/piping and unsafe mechanical demolition work.

Both complaints were marked as closed within a day of being filed, though notably, inspectors were unable to gain access to the property on their second and final attempts to conduct inspections related to these serious safety concerns. The building's documented history, particularly the unresolved nature of the bedbug reporting violations and the recent safety-related complaints, suggests ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges within the property, with particular emphasis on safety systems and pest management protocols.
