543 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

543 Bedford Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Shavy Hirsch. The property has demonstrated consistent monitoring and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all reports showing no infested units, and the most recent report from December 2023 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the 2022-2023 period.

The building's maintenance history reveals several periods of attention to various conditions, particularly noticeable in 2018-2019 when multiple violations were recorded and subsequently addressed, including issues with peeling paint in the second-floor apartment, radiator maintenance, and required repairs to fire-retardant materials in public areas. More recent concerns include an unresolved violation from June 2023 regarding a missing external low-pressure inspection from 2020, and a complaint about work without a permit in November 2023, though this was found to have no warranted violation upon inspection. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance issues typical for an older structure, though many of these have been addressed effectively, as indicated by the closure of numerous violations.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance with consistent results showing no infestations. As of 2025, the status of the building shows active violations and recent complaints that warrant monitoring, particularly the June 2023 external inspection violation which remains open, and the November 2023 complaint which was inspected but resulted in no violation being found. The inspection history and complaint records suggest regular oversight by housing authorities, though periods of required repairs and maintenance issues were more concentrated in the 2018-2019 period compared to more recent years.
