813 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This two-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building located at 813 44th Street in Borough Park was built in 1924 and is currently owned by Mei Siu. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably regarding its heating system and bedbug reporting compliance.

In March 2023 and April 2021, the building received Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations were eventually closed. A more recent and significant issue occurred in May 2024, when the building faced problems with its boiler system - specifically, a failure to provide access to the heating system that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation. This boiler-related issue, which was reportedly defective or inoperative, was addressed promptly with an inspection on May 10, 2024, though no penalties were imposed and the violation was resolved.

On a positive note, the building's recent bedbug reporting history over the past three filing periods (2021-2024) shows zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates that no dwelling units experienced infestations in the preceding year (November 2023 - October 2024). While the building has had some compliance issues in the past, particularly regarding timely reporting of bedbug data, the current status reflects improved adherence to pest control requirements, though residents may want to remain observant regarding building system maintenance, particularly with regard to heating equipment.
