183 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit building at 183 East 59th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Phillip Davidson and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant regulatory issues in recent years. Most prominently, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent violation still remaining open as of April 2024.

These recurring violations indicate ongoing non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. In addition to the bedbug report violations, the building has faced two Department of Buildings complaints in 2022 regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling.

Both complaints, filed in July and December, concerned work conducted without proper permits, with the December complaint specifically noting an obstructed fire escape from the multiple dwelling due to an extended garage. This particular violation resulted in an Environmental Control Board citation for unauthorized work, though records indicate it was resolved with no penalties imposed. The property's documented history suggests a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, particularly in relation to safety requirements and reporting obligations, though it's worth noting that the most recent ECB violation was resolved without fines.
