48 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
48 Livingston Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, dating back to 1848 and currently owned by Steven Chu. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed in January 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), water leaks (damp spots), and issues with the intercom system.
Notably, all these complaints were closed by April 2023 due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection, leaving open the possibility that these issues may not have been fully resolved. The building has had two class A violations in 2021 and 2022 relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed, and more recent bedbug filings from 2022 through 2024 show no cases of infestation or eradication.
The property's rodent inspection records show consistent compliance, with all inspections from 2013 through 2025 passing, except for one failure in June 2011 for unspecified reasons. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) indicating zero infested or re-infested units. While the building has a history of pest-related complaints, the recent rodent inspection success and the lack of confirmed bedbug cases in recent reports suggest some level of effective pest management, though the unresolved nature of the 2023 complaints indicates potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
