563 East 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

563 East 29th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and has been under the ownership of Austin Sargeant since 1920. The building's recent history has been marked by recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

Additionally, from 2019 through 2021, there were multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against the owner totaling over $10,000 in penalties, primarily relating to building maintenance non-compliance and failure to address combustible storage conditions in the basement. The building experienced significant structural stability concerns in early 2019, with multiple complaints about building shaking and vibrating, resulting in vacate orders between January-April 2019, though these were eventually rescinded. The property had a pattern of rodent inspection failures between 2015-2017, with the most recent successful inspection occurring in 2015.

Between 2019 and 2021, there were multiple violations related to failure to comply with Commissioner orders and file necessary certificates of correction, though these were ultimately resolved. The Department of Buildings issued permits for work at the property in 2020 and 2021, suggesting some building improvements or repairs were undertaken during this period. While many past violations have been resolved, the recurring nature of recent bedbug report compliance issues from 2021 to 2024 indicates ongoing regulatory challenges for the property.
