49 Cedar Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 49 Cedar Street in Bushwick, owned by Jacob Davidovics, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2023, the building underwent inspections due to complaints of mold and unsanitary conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued.
The building's safety compliance came under scrutiny in September 2023, with multiple violations recorded related to fire safety and building code requirements, including issues with smoke detector requirements, fire door functionality, and the need for proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and bedbug reporting. While these violations were subsequently closed in September 2023, they indicated areas of concern regarding building maintenance practices. The building has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing periods of rat activity, particularly in mid-2023 through 2024, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.
An inspection in April 2024 highlighted the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2024-2025 show no recorded infestations or eradications. The building's management has maintained relatively regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently showing zero infested units. Recent rodent control efforts appear to be improving, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, suggesting some attention to pervasive pest issues.
