533 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 533 48th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Dorothea Weissman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a building-wide heat and hot water emergency in March 2025 that resulted in violations being issued to the property owner. This was the most recent of multiple heat-related complaints, though the resolution process indicated some confusion over whether inspections had been conducted in all affected units.

The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) showing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD. However, the most recent bedbug report filing for the period ending October 31, 2024, indicated no current infestations, with zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units reported. The property has demonstrated ongoing concerns with both heating systems and pest management compliance, though the situation appears to have improved slightly in terms of bedbug management based on the most recent report.

The building was constructed in 1901 and falls under the category of "New Law Tenement," which typically refers to buildings that were required to comply with specific housing maintenance codes established in the 1980s-1990s. While there have been multiple violations issued over the years, it's important to note that many of these have been marked as "Closed," suggesting they have been addressed, though not always within the legally mandated timeframes. The most recent heat and hot water issues in 2025 appear to be the most critical ongoing concern for the building as of 2025.
