72 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The four-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 72 East 51st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Gene Johnson Sm Johnson Smith, has been under consistent scrutiny regarding its compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements over the past four years.
The property has maintained an ongoing violation related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the HPD, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021. These repeated violations indicate a persistent challenge in meeting this particular regulatory requirement.
Looking further back into the building's history, there have been two rodent inspections in 2011 and 2013, with one failure recorded in August 2013 for unspecified reasons, though this may be considered relatively dated compared to the more recent bedbug reporting issues. The building, constructed in 1930, is now approaching its 95th anniversary, and the current pattern of repeated violations suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance that has persisted despite multiple notifications over several years.
