548 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 548 11th Street in South Slope, owned by Iftikhar Din, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a rat sighting complaint in December 2023, finding violations that required follow-up inspections, though subsequent rodent inspections in early 2024 showed passing results, despite an earlier January 2024 inspection indicating rat activity. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a 2018 complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, which resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access during the final attempt in December 2023.

Earlier, in 2018, there were significant boiler system violations documented, including improper steam piping installation, incorrect low water cutoff installation, and combustion air inlet height issues, for which an Oath violation was served, though these were eventually resolved with no penalties imposed. The property, dating back to 1895, has maintained a relatively consistent pattern of regulatory interactions, with a particular emphasis on pest control and building systems compliance remaining as a focus for both the Department of Buildings and Health Department oversight.
