1523 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The three-unit, three-story building at 1523 53rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Barry Kaplowitz, was constructed in 1920 and is classified as a Heretofore Converted Class A building. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with no reported infestations in any of the dwelling units.
The building's annual bedbug reports, filed regularly from 2021 through 2025, show a clear record of good maintenance practices, with the most recent report from March 2025 indicating zero infested or eradicated units during the 2023-2024 reporting period. The building has encountered three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, with all violations subsequently closed.
These violations, while technically infractions, appear to represent more of an administrative oversight regarding the timing of bedbug report filings rather than evidence of an infestation problem. All three violations were specifically regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules, but the subsequent filings and consistent record-keeping suggest the matters were resolved through proper reporting procedures. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of actual infestations, with all five annual reports (2019-2020 through 2024-2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating effective pest management and good building maintenance practices.
