493 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 493 13th Street in South Slope, owned by Yumi Kobayashi, has maintained its converted Class A status since being built in 1896. The property has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with the most recent citation occurring in April 2024, continuing a pattern that dates back to 2022.

These violations stem from the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with HPD, though it's worth noting that during the 2020 reporting period (November 2019 - October 2020), the building had zero infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. Prior to this period, there were no documented bedbug issues.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a successful initial inspection in June 2015, passing without any noted concerns. While the current open violations regarding bedbug reporting are significant, the actual infestation history during the documented reporting period suggests effective management of the issue when proper documentation was submitted.
