486 Empire Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The four-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 486 Empire Boulevard in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Shmuel Turk, has several concerning open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements that have persisted over multiple years from 2021 through 2024.
Despite these ongoing violations, there is no indication that actual bedbug infestations have been documented in the available records.
The building's historical rodent management records from 2011-2014 show a pattern of rat activity and compliance inspections, with initial inspections in 2011-2012 revealing rodent problems including reports of rat activity, though later inspections in 2014 demonstrated at least one successful compliance pass. Of particular note is the building's consistent failure to file required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code regulations, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024 and similar violations noted in 2023, 2022, and 2021, suggesting a pattern of non-compliance with this specific requirement.
