47 Louisa Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 47 Louisa Street property is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Miki Yeung and located in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building's recent history has been marked by recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though these violations have all been closed.

Notably, a bedbug report was finally filed in March 2024 for the period covering November 2022 to October 2023, indicating that while there were no infested dwelling units during that period, the property experienced re-infestation cycles with 4 units previously affected that had been eradicated. In terms of safety and resident experience, there was a significant complaint filed in May 2023 regarding an illegal conversion at the property, which was closed later that year in December 2023; however, the inspector was unable to gain access to the building for the inspection despite multiple attempts.

This pattern of access issues, combined with the history of bedbug reporting violations and infestation cycles, suggests ongoing management challenges. The building's age and status as a New Law Tenement, typically requiring adherence to specific tenant protection regulations, adds to the significance of these compliance issues.
