540 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 6-story, 5-unit residential building at 540 East New York Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Shaul Cohen, has maintained a consistent record regarding bedbug management since its construction in 2007. While the building received three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 for failing to submit annual bedbug reports - typically a procedural oversight rather than a safety concern - these violations were all officially closed.

Importantly, all subsequent bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2025 have shown no evidence of infestation, with the most recent report from January 2025 confirming zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units for the reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024. Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2020 for which disposition information is currently not available.

However, given the lack of recent complaints and the building's consistent record of bedbug management compliance in terms of reporting (with no actual infestations documented), these older violations appear to be isolated instances rather than indicative of any ongoing issues. The property has taken appropriate steps to address reporting requirements since the initial violations, with all subsequent filings being timely and complete, though it should be noted that the building is currently under two active DOB violations that remain unresolved as of 2025.
