239 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

239 57th Street is a three-story Old Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Gary Brown. The building has been subject to recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with four separate violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with the annual bedbug report filing requirements.

Most concerning is the current open violation as of April 2024, which remains unresolved to date. The only period for which a bedbug report was submitted covers the 2020-2021 period, during which the report indicated no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting a temporary resolution to the bedbug issue at that time.

The building's violation history reveals a pattern of administrative oversights, with the most recent violation following closely after the previous one in March 2023. The persistent nature of these violations, combined with the absence of documented infestations in the 2020-2021 report period, suggests potential challenges with record-keeping or compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though it should be noted that the absence of reported infestations during that period indicates no active bedbug presence at that time. The building has maintained its original three-unit configuration throughout its history, and aside from the bedbug reporting violations, there are no other documented housing maintenance code violations on record to date.
