511 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 511 48th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Edwin Hernandez, has had several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an active violation from 2023 regarding failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, which remains unresolved as of June 2025.

The building experienced a defective/inoperative boiler situation in May 2022, which resulted in a violation and a $500 penalty, though this was closed shortly thereafter. While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, all these violations have been closed. However, it's worth noting that during the same period, the building has consistently filed their bedbug reports showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.

The building's rodent inspection history shows initial rat activity in April 2018, though a subsequent compliance inspection that same month found the building to have passed inspection. The three-unit structure, built in 1905 and classed as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B", has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with the most recent filing in May 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, again showing no reported infestations. While the building has had its share of violations and compliance issues, particularly regarding inspection filings and boiler concerns, the property has demonstrated proactive management in controlling bedbug and rodent issues since their initial occurrences.
