520 East 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 520 East 78th Street in Canarsie, owned by Jean Paul, has faced recurring compliance issues over the past several years, particularly concerning bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open as of my last data review in October 2023.

While these violations specifically pertain to reporting requirements rather than active infestations, their persistent nature suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance. In terms of building improvements, a permit for exterior work (document number 340834752) was issued in February 2022, indicating some level of maintenance or improvement carried out during that period.

The building, classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A, was constructed in 1960 and has maintained its original two-story structure throughout its history. Given the building's documented history, particularly the ongoing nature of bedbug report violations, it appears there have been challenges with maintaining compliance with certain housing regulations, though there is no indication of actual bedbug infestations from the data available.
