671 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 671 47th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Theodore Hamm, has been facing ongoing regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is a concerning pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating the building has failed to file its annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules.

While this repeated non-compliance is significant, it's worth noting that there was a successful rodent inspection in February 2024, where the building passed the initial inspection requirements. More recently, in April 2025, the property underwent a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection which resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.

This suggests the building may be making efforts to address its compliance issues, though the persistent bedbug report violations remain unresolved as of the latest inspection in April 2024. The building, constructed in 1930, is classified as a New Law Tenement, which typically signifies it was constructed before New York City's tenancy laws were enacted but is subject to various housing regulations due to its age and building class designation.
