541 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building at 541 46th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joshua Carson, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past four years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of open violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 that remain unresolved as of April 2024.

These repeated violations suggest a persistent oversight in meeting this important health and safety requirement. The building experienced an electrical issue in March 2022, when both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code enforcement responded to a power outage complaint.

While this incident was investigated and no violations were issued, it represents the only documented service interruption in recent history. Since then, while there have been no further recorded electrical issues or other major service requests, the outstanding bedbug reporting violations warrant attention to the building's compliance with housing regulations. It is worth noting that three other bedbug-related Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in previous years (2020, 2021, and 2022) have been resolved, as they are no longer present in the current violation records.
