1553 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story residential building at 1553 50th Street in Borough Park, owned by Chaim Koplowitz, has been subject to consistent regulatory scrutiny over the past several years regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Built in 1970 and classified as a Class A building, this property has experienced recurring violations of Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § 27-2018 (a) during the 2021-2024 period, specifically related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, which occurred in April 2021, February 2022, March 2023, and most recently in April 2024, were all classified as "A" violations, though records indicate they have been subsequently closed. Despite these repeated violations, the building's most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) shows no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in the past year, indicating successful compliance with bedbug management protocols following the earlier violations.

The report shows zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting that the owner has taken appropriate measures to address the bedbug management requirements since the initial violations. The building remains a three-unit structure, and while the history of violations may raise concerns about management practices, the most recent reporting suggests improved compliance with bedbug management requirements.
