543 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 9-unit, 3-story residential building at 543 45th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jack Gusenfitter, was constructed in 2004 and has had a relatively stable maintenance history over the past several years. The building has undergone regular annual bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report filed in July 2024 indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023.

This follows a pattern of consistent reporting showing no bedbug infestations since at least 2021, despite multiple violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to submit timely bedbug reports, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building experienced two specific incidents in September 2020 involving window frames and pests, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

However, no violations were found in either case, and both complaints were closed within approximately two weeks of being filed. An initial rodent inspection in January 2018 resulted in a failed outcome for other reasons, though a subsequent inspection in April 2017 passed. It's notable that there have been no recent complaints or violations reported since 2020, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years.
