1780 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1780 Brooklyn Avenue in Flatlands, owned by Allyson Banks, has been subject to recurring administrative violations concerning bedbug reporting. From 2021 through 2024, the building received four separate violations under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all these violations were subsequently closed.

Most recently, the building filed its bedbug report for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 in July 2024, indicating no infested units, no units that underwent eradication, and no cases of re-infestation, suggesting improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The building has experienced several complaints filed with the Department of Buildings over the past two years, including two regarding alleged illegal curb cut or driveway modifications (in January 2023 and December 2024), both of which were dismissed upon inspection as no violations were warranted.

A more concerning complaint was filed in October 2024 regarding work conducted without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspector was unable to gain access during two final attempts to conduct the inspection. While the bedbug reporting situation appears to have stabilized with the recent filings, the building's history of repeated bedbug report violations and the recent unverified work complaint suggest ongoing challenges with compliance monitoring and enforcement.
