1528 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The six-story, 57-unit residential building at 1528 49th Street in Borough Park, owned by Abraham Meisels and constructed in 1939, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns regarding safety and lead paint compliance. In 2019, there was at least one reported incident of a broken or missing window guard, though this complaint was ultimately closed without violations.

In July 2020, a building-wide inspection revealed multiple violations requiring attention to lead paint hazard control compliance, specifically affecting apartments 2D, 4K, and 5D. Additional safety concerns were identified, including a loose top hinge on the roof bulkhead door, though this issue was certified as corrected in August 2020. The Department of Buildings also issued violations in 2020 and 2021, though both were dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent inspections showing the defects had been corrected.

More recently, the building has maintained an active record of monitoring for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2021-2024). The most recent bedbug reporting periods (2022-2024) show zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful pest management, though there was one reported infested unit in 2021 that was subsequently addressed. As of July 2025, the building has not had any new violations or major complaints in the past two years, and the most recent bedbug reports indicate effective ongoing management of this maintenance aspect.
