1534 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1534 48th Street in Borough Park, owned by Moshe Goldberger, has a concerning pattern of housing maintenance code violations over the past four years related to bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent violations in 2024 and 2023 remain open, both citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These same reporting violations were also documented in 2022 and 2021, though those were listed as closed, suggesting some attempts at compliance during that period. Interestingly, during the January 2022 bedbug reporting period (covering November 2020 to October 2021), the building reported no infested dwelling units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infested units, indicating that while there were administrative compliance issues, the actual bedbug presence during that period was non-existent.

The building, which dates back to 1920, is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," meaning it was converted from a different use to an apartment building prior to the current classification system. While the open violations present a compliance issue, it's worth noting that these pertain primarily to administrative procedures rather than direct resident health or safety concerns, especially given the lack of reported infestations in recent years.
