573 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 573 10th Street in South Slope, owned by George Hemingway and constructed in 1882, has experienced recurring regulatory attention regarding its bedbug reporting obligations over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation for failure to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, marking the third consecutive year of non-compliance with this requirement, following similar violations in March 2023 and February 2022.

Notably, while the building's official bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2022 show no documented cases of infestation (with reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units), the pattern of violations suggests potential administrative oversights rather than confirmed pest issues. The building's bedbug report filings for 2020-2021 and 2019-2020, submitted in August 2022 and April 2021 respectively, consistently demonstrated a clean record with no reported infestations during those periods.

The persistent open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though concerning from a regulatory compliance perspective, appear to relate primarily to paperwork submissions rather than reflecting ongoing pest management challenges within the building. While the lack of documented infestations is reassuring, the building's current status as of April 2024 indicates continued non-compliance with the bedbug reporting mandate, which may warrant attention from prospective tenants regarding routine housing maintenance adherence.
