1459 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1459 42nd Street is a two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building in Borough Park, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Naftali Gestetner. The building's history reveals a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

Although these violations have been marked as "Closed," their repeated nature suggests an ongoing administrative oversight. The most recent bedbug report, filed in July 2024, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicates no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during that timeframe, which could suggest improved conditions in terms of actual infestation, though this does not negate the previous compliance issues.

The building's maintenance record shows one Department of Buildings complaint in October 2021 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the complaint. On the positive side, there was a permit issued in March 2020 for exterior work (Permit Sequence Number 01 under Job Number 340720447), though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available data. The property has demonstrated some challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, while recent filings suggest a period of no reported infestations, though the legacy of violations remains notable.
