21 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, NY 11215

21 Garfield Place is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Park Slope and owned by Steven Kalifowitz. The century-old structure, classified as an OLD LAW TENEMENT, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years.

Most recently, in 2024, and in the previous two years (2023 and 2022), the building received Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug report with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though notably there were no reported infestations during the 2019-2020 filing period. These violations represent an ongoing administrative compliance issue, with the only previous bedbug-related violation being closed in 2021, which marked a brief period of compliance. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with two failures recorded in mid-2013 for unspecified reasons, while a subsequent inspection in late 2017 passed.

The current status of the open bedbug reporting violations from 2022-2024 suggests continued regulatory non-compliance, though this is primarily an administrative issue rather than an indication of active infestations. The property's inspection record reflects regular oversight by regulatory authorities, with inspections occurring annually for most recent years. The three-unit configuration of the building, constructed in 1901, is typical of its Park Slope location, representing a standard legal tenement building from that era.
