Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 4444 Bedford Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Allan Savdie, has had consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no reported infestations in any of the dwelling units. The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 indicated zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the 2023-2024 period. The building has experienced regular annual bedbug report violation notices from 2022 to 2024, though these violations were ultimately closed without any listed certified resolution dates.

The property has faced several issues regarding unauthorized modifications and safety concerns between 2019 and 2021. Notable incidents include a documented illegal curb cut and parking pad installation at the rear of the property, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation in October 2021 (though no penalty was imposed), and complaints about electrical wiring concerns and unpermitted work in occupied multiple dwelling contexts in 2021. All of these complaints were closed without violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The building has maintained an active compliance record in terms of bedbug reporting and has shown responsiveness to violation notices, though the pattern of consecutive annual violations related to bedbug reporting obligations suggests an administrative oversight pattern that was ultimately corrected in subsequent years.
