455 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

455 43rd Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Edwin Ruiz. Built in 1899, this class A building has undergone several maintenance requirements and permit activities over recent years.

Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 (2021-04-06, 2022-02-22, 2023-03-20, and most recently in 2024-04-08), all of which remain open as of the current date. These violations pertain to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations, though it's worth noting that such violations have been relatively common across many NYC buildings.

The building has had three related work permits issued for elevator work (EW) under job number 340757595, with the first being issued on October 8, 2020, followed by permits issued in June and January of 2021-2022 respectively. Additionally, there was a Local Law Audits complaint entered on February 24, 2021, which was closed the following day with a compliance inspection performed on February 22, 2021. The property has maintained its basic residential functions, but the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, though these specific violations do not directly indicate current pest issues within the building.
