111 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

111 East 51st Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Rose Jeanmarie. The building has experienced several significant issues over the years, most notably a pattern of heat and hot water service problems in July 2018, when both apartment-specific and building-wide complaints were filed with HPD, though the agency faced challenges gaining access to units for inspection.

In 2018, there was also a Department of Buildings complaint that resulted in an inspection showing no violations. More recent compliance matters include two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were closed.

The good news is that the building has demonstrated consistent bedbug management since then, with no reported infestations in the annual reports from 2022 through 2024. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units for the reporting period, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly during the summer of 2018, the absence of recent heat/hot water complaints and the successful resolution of the bedbug reporting violations indicate improved conditions in recent years.
