1518 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 1518 50th Street in Borough Park, owned by Yocheved Kohn, has exhibited several concerning patterns over recent years. Most significantly, there is a recurring issue with the building's compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

This indicates a persistent oversight in maintaining compliance with local health regulations. More recently, in 2024, there were two gas utility referrals to the Department of Buildings - one relating to access denial during a second attempt for inspection, and another where a violation was served.

An associated Environmental Control Board violation from July 2024, which has since been resolved with no penalties imposed, noted unauthorized gas piping work in the basement gas meter room, including newly installed piping with shut-off valves and fittings that lacked proper permits. These gas-related incidents raise potential safety concerns, although it's worth noting that the gas utility referrals were ultimately addressed, with one resulting in an Oath violation being served and another having access denied on the second attempt.
