511 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 511 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Lindsay Rubel, has shown consistent patterns in its housing maintenance compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The property, constructed in 1903, has had three successive open violations between 2022 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

Notably, while these violations exist, the building's previous bedbug reports from 2018 through 2021 showed no documented infestations, with each annual filing indicating zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations. Recent activity at the building includes a February 2024 Environmental Control Board violation regarding a sidewalk shed and scaffolding issue, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty that has since been resolved.

This violation, though not directly affecting resident safety, represents a building maintenance issue that was promptly addressed. The most recent bedbug report status as of October 2023 remains open for the 2022-2023 filing period, which may indicate ongoing administrative compliance challenges rather than actual infestation concerns. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug eradication efforts when necessary, though the pattern of violations suggests occasional lapses in administrative reporting requirements.
