543 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

543 Kosciuszko Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Aron Kapelyus. The building experienced multiple concerning incidents in May 2019, including two separate heat/hot water complaints and two power outages, though all these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being issued. There were also issues with cooking gas and an electric/gas range during this period.

Following these incidents, the building has maintained consistent compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though there were violations noted in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently corrected. Notably, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025) according to the most recent reports, and rodent inspections have generally passed, with the only failure occurring in October 2023 for "Other Reasons." Recent inspections from 2024-2025 have all passed, indicating improved compliance with health and safety standards. The Department of Buildings received two complaints regarding illegal conversions in early 2019, both of which resulted in no violations being warranted, with one case noting that the inspector was unable to gain access to the building.

Since these incidents, there have been no further complaints of this nature on record. The building's current status as of 2025 shows a pattern of timely maintenance and prompt resolution of any identified issues, with particular attention paid to rodent control measures in recent inspections. The most recent rodent inspections from October 2024 and March 2025 passed, suggesting effective pest management practices are currently in place.
