438 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit residential building at 438 54th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Felix Acevedo Jr, has maintained a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance over recent years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

These violations, which remain unresolved as of April 2024, suggest ongoing issues with compliance and pest management documentation. The building's regulatory history also includes a smoking violation addressed in 2024, though this was administratively closed after the issue was reportedly addressed.

Additionally, there was a complaint in June 2023 regarding illegal work or occupancy changes, but this was investigated and found unsubstantiated based on Department records. The property's documented history spans from its 1894 construction to the present day, with the current building classification listed as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B". The persistent bedbug reporting violations are particularly noteworthy given their potential impact on resident comfort, though it's important to note that there are no recorded violations directly indicating an active bedbug infestation in the building itself.
