513 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 513 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Alexander Mitsuda, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting compliance violations over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

This violation follows a pattern of similar infractions, with closed but notable violations recorded in 2021 and 2022, all related to the same reporting requirement under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. Despite these compliance issues, the building's official bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations during the past four reporting periods (covering 2020-2021 through 2022-2023).

The most recent bedbug report, filed in February 2023 for the period from November 2021 to October 2022, and the previous report from November 2022 for the period from November 2020 to October 2021, both indicated zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. While the property has maintained a record of being bedbug-free according to official reports, the recurring violations regarding reporting compliance suggest some challenges with maintaining adherence to HPD requirements, though these may not necessarily reflect actual infestation levels.
