237 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 237 East 51st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Vena Jackson, has been experiencing ongoing maintenance compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is a recurring issue with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement, with four open violations (recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) related to the failure to file the required reports in accordance with HPD rules.
The building also has an open Class C violation from April 2022 concerning defective or missing self-closing doors at the public hall bulkhead to the roof, which represents a potential safety concern. Looking further back, the building's history includes rodent inspections in 2009 and 2010, with initial inspections failing for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection in January 2010 passed.
The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a New Law Tenement and has been under consistent ownership by Vena Jackson. The persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations, particularly in recent years, suggests an ongoing challenge with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
