843 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

843 44th Street is a two-story, five-unit residential building in Borough Park, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Chaim Israel. The property has a recurring issue with annual bedbug report violations, having received four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

In 2022, the building underwent significant construction work that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations against Jabbie Industries Incorp, with penalties totaling $12,500 (though all were marked as resolved). These violations included unauthorized underpinning work at the cellar level, storage of combustible debris, failure to maintain a site safety plan, missing construction fencing, and performing structural work without providing approved drawings. The building has also experienced several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints in 2023 relating to site safety and unauthorized work, including endangering worker conditions and violations of stop work orders, though most inspections found no violations warranted.

Multiple complaints regarding inadequate fencing were filed between 2022 and 2023. While all recent DOB complaints have been marked as closed, the persistent bedbug report violations and construction-related issues from 2022 suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The building's most recent inspection in 2024 remains open for the bedbug report violation, which is particularly noteworthy considering the increasing frequency of these violations over the past four years.
