513 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit residential building at 513 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Paula Estevez and constructed in 2004, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with annual citations issued from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file the required bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code regulations.
While these violations were marked as "Close" in the inspection records, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no infested or eradicated units, suggesting successful remediation of this particular issue. The building has experienced significant rodent-related challenges, with a pattern of inspection results showing fluctuating conditions.
In 2023, there were two separate inspections (July and August) that documented rat activity, following a failed inspection in January 2022 for unspecified reasons. However, more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown consistent improvement, with the most recent inspections (January 2025 and July 2025) passing without reported issues. This suggests that while the building has faced persistent pest control challenges in recent years, there has been notable progress in addressing both bedbug and rodent problems, particularly during 2024 and into 2025, though the building's history of violations indicates these issues have required ongoing attention.
