578 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

578 Midwood Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Yehoshua Brook, located in Brooklyn's Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. The building has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with citations issued annually from 2021 through 2024 indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's mandatory annual bedbug report filing requirements.

A concerning asbestos complaint was filed and closed in February 2025, though no resolution was documented in the records. The building also has several historical maintenance issues; a Class C violation from 2019 remains open regarding self-closing doors at the entrance of apartment 2R, and a Class B violation from 2018 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting has been resolved.

The property has undergone some permitted work in recent years, with two permits issued in 2019: one for plumbing work (permit 321724461) and another for unspecified work (permit 321724461) issued in January 2019 following a July 2018 filing. There was a construction enforcement complaint in December 2019 that was verified and corrected by the Department of Buildings. The persistent bedbug report violation pattern, occurring over multiple years, suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues, while the recent asbestos complaint raises potential safety concerns, though the lack of resolution documentation provides limited information on the situation's current status.
