253 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The two-story, three-unit building at 253 East 51st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Denzil Bernard and constructed in 1940, has been facing recurring compliance issues with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code over the past several years.
Specifically, the building has accumulated four open violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024. The most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, marks the fourth consecutive year (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) that the property has been cited for failing to file the required bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules.
While these violations are classified as "A" (which typically indicates non-hazardous conditions), the consistent pattern of non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years suggests an ongoing administrative oversight. The building is currently designated as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," though the specific implications of this classification are not detailed in the available records.
