544 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 544 State Street in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1899 and owned by Saul Bardosh, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over recent years. The most significant concerns center around water-related problems, including a heavy flow leak reported in late 2019 that resulted in HPD violations, affecting the building's habitability during that period.

A cluster of violations was documented in January 2020 specifically related to Basement Apartment G, including issues with water leakage, broken wood flooring, defective plastered surfaces, peeling paint, and a problematic casement window, though these were all certified as corrected by February 2020. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history over the past five years (2020-2025), with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective management of this potential pest issue.

While the building has had multiple bedbug report filings indicating compliance with HPD requirements, three violations were issued regarding annual bedbug reporting between 2020-2024, though these were subsequently closed. Regular inspections for rodent presence were conducted in 2013 and 2018, with both resulting in passes, indicating no significant rodent issues at those times. The most recent building inspection in April 2024 resulted in a violation related to bedbug reporting that remains open, though the building's most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 shows zero infestation during the 2023-2024 reporting period.
