399 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 399 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Dukerns Jean-louis, has experienced recurring bedbug-related compliance issues since 2021. The building, constructed in 1950 and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has had four documented violations of the Housing Maintenance Code between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

Though these violations were marked as closed, they indicate an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements. The most recent bedbug report, filed in October 2024, documented one infested dwelling unit during the 2022-2023 period, though this unit had been eradicated with no re-infestation. Similar patterns were observed in 2023 and 2022, with each instance involving one infested unit that was successfully treated.

Notably, in April 2024, the building received another violation for failing to file the required bedbug report, marking five consecutive years of such violations. The only other inspection on record was a rodent inspection in June 2020, which the building passed, suggesting no significant rodent problems at that time. While the building has successfully eradiated bedbug infestations in each instance, the persistent reporting violations could indicate challenges with maintaining thorough documentation and compliance with city regulations.
