3921 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 3921 13th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Lawrence Rosenberg, has a notable history since its construction in 1931. In recent years, the building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with multiple open violations in 2024 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The most recent bedbug report from June 2024 indicated no infested units or eradication efforts, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023.

Prior to this, in August 2021, another bedbug report for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 also showed no infested units. The building underwent several significant safety-related improvements and corrections between 2021 and 2022. In January 2022, a violation regarding gas leak procedures was addressed and certified, while in October 2021, multiple violations were corrected, including the installation of window guards in Apartment 2R, removal of household items obstructing fire escapes, and the removal of an illegal lockable slide bolt on the scuttle hatch door in the public hall.

The building's rodent inspections in 2013 showed mixed results, with an initial failure noted in January 2013 followed by a compliance pass in February of the same year. While the bedbug reporting violations represent an ongoing compliance issue, the building has addressed various safety concerns when violations were noted, though the pattern of bedbug reporting violations suggests some challenges with maintaining compliance in this area. The most recent inspections indicate a focus on ensuring proper documentation and reporting procedures, particularly concerning pest management.
