5524 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 5524 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Meir Kuba, was constructed in 1931 and has been the subject of ongoing bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past several years. The building currently has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

These violations are particularly noteworthy as they indicate a persistent pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, which could potentially affect resident comfort and safety, though the violation notices themselves do not necessarily indicate an active infestation. The building's most recent bedbug report, filed on April 14, 2021, covered the period from November 2019 to October 2020, and recorded zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in the dwelling units during that time.

This suggests that while there have been regulatory compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting since 2021, the actual documented bedbug activity in the building has been minimal based on the 2019-2020 report. The persistence of open violations through 2023-2024 indicates ongoing challenges with meeting bedbug reporting requirements, though it's important to note that these violations may not directly correlate with current pest conditions in the building.
