547 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story residential building at 547 41st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Carlos Alvarado, has a limited but notable history of maintenance issues since its construction in 1927 as a New Law Tenement. The most significant recent incident occurred in March 2021, when tenants reported problems with heat and hot water, though these issues were resolved shortly after HPD's intervention.

The building has been subject to recurring administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four separate notices issued between early 2021 and April 2024, all of which were officially closed. In March 2021, there was also a B-class violation concerning obstruction of fire escape access due to flower pots on the second-story balcony, which was certified as corrected in April 2021.

Most recently, in 2025, there was a complaint regarding illegal conversion filed in May, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their final inspection attempt in June. On a positive note, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations in its last three reporting periods (2025, 2024, and 2021), and it passed a rodent inspection in March 2017. The property has consistently responded to health and safety inspections, with all violations being addressed and closed, though the pattern of bedbug report compliance issues suggests some challenges in meeting administrative requirements.
