48 South Portland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, two-unit building at 48 South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Samuel Lawrence, was constructed in 1864 and has undergone conversion to Class A status. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all reports in the past six years indicating zero infestations, including the most recent filing in May 2025 covering the 2023-2024 period.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2023, both violations were marked as closed, and the building has since maintained regular reporting with no recorded infestations. The building has seen a significant amount of permitted work in recent years, with six permits issued between 2022 and 2025 under job number 300679344.

The most recent permits, issued in March 2025 and earlier in 2024-2023, include both plumbing (PL) and general alteration (AL) work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement activities. The frequency and recency of permitted work indicate active maintenance of the property infrastructure. The building's bedbug management record, combined with the regular issuance of permits for various works, suggests responsible property management, though the closure of the earlier violations indicates there may have been initial oversight in meeting reporting requirements.
