231 East 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story residential building at 231 East 89th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Charles Lucas and constructed in 1960, has consistently failed to meet Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding bedbug reporting over the past four years.

The most recent violation, like the previous three, was issued in April 2024, indicating an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with the mandated annual bedbug report submissions to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department.

Notably, the building's rodent inspection in July 2012 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that while this particular pest issue was addressed nearly thirteen years ago, the more recent focus has shifted to concerns about bedbug reporting compliance rather than actual infestation incidents. The recurring nature of the bedbug report violation, with similar citations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, raises questions about the owner's attention to regulatory requirements, though it's important to note that these violations pertain to reporting requirements rather than direct indications of an active bedbug problem in the building.
