519 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-unit, four-story Old Law Tenement building at 519 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Andrew Harvey, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and safety events since 2019. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings in 2024 and earlier showed no infestation, eradication, or re-infestation of dwelling units during the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 reporting periods.

The building has maintained a generally good rodent control record, with initial inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2019 passing successfully, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2015. Going further back, two open violations from July 2019 remain unresolved: one concerning a broken or defective skylight glass pane at the bulkhead, and another regarding the lack of posted gas leak procedures in common areas.

The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest control and rodent management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years and successful rodent inspections, though the failure to file timely bedbug reports in recent years is notable. The property has been subject to regular inspections and has generally passed required safety checks, with the most significant outstanding issue being the unaddressed skylight and gas safety notification violations from 2019.
