124 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 124 East 59th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Murphy Barnett and constructed in 1920, has maintained a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years. The property currently has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations (2022, 2023, and 2024) specifically related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, which has become a recurring compliance issue despite one prior instance of this violation being closed in 2021.

Interestingly, during the 2019-2020 reporting period, no bedbug issues were documented in the filing dated June 26, 2021, showing no actual infestations during that specific period. In addition to the bedbug-related violations, the building's recent history includes an Environmental Control Board violation from February 2020 concerning parking regulations in a residential district (R-5 zoning), where multiple unregistered vehicles were found parked and stored in violation of regulations.

This particular violation carries a $500 penalty, which has not been paid according to the records. The property has undergone regular inspections, with the most recent citing continued non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. While the building has shown no documented history of actual bedbug infestations in recent years, the persistent failure to comply with reporting requirements raises ongoing concerns about proper pest management practices.
