468 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 468 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Courtney Edwards, has experienced consistent bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with the most recent filings indicating a complete infestation (6 units) between November 2023 and October 2024, though all units were reported as eradicated. This pattern of infestation suggests ongoing challenges with pest management, despite previous years showing no reported infestations. The building, constructed in 1920, has also undergone several maintenance requirements, particularly following a set of violations identified in February 2018, which included issues with fire-retardant materials and paint requirements in common areas such as the second and third-story public halls and vestibule.

While these violations were ultimately closed, they indicated past concerns with both safety standards (fire retardant materials) and aesthetic maintenance (painting requirements). A permit for work designated as "EW" (presumably emergency work) was issued in November 2022, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records provided. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with filings occurring annually or semi-annually as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 shows comprehensive compliance, though it notes full-unit infestations during the reporting period. Despite the pest management issues, it's worth noting that the majority of violations on record have been properly addressed and closed, showing responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The pattern of bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods suggests that while eradication efforts have been documented, achieving long-term pest control remains an ongoing challenge for the building.
