1869 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

At 1869 53rd Street in Borough Park, this two-story, three-unit residential building built in 1925 and owned by Gaetana Nipitella has experienced several significant events over the past few years, with particular attention needed to ongoing regulatory compliance issues. Most notably, there are persistent open violations related to bedbug report filing requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code for the years 2021 through 2024.

The building underwent construction work in 2021-2022 that led to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including unlawful work during a stop work order, inadequate roof protection, and concerns about ceiling joists cutaway from load-bearing walls. These construction-related issues resulted in Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, with fines totaling $1,870, though some were subsequently resolved. The stop work order was rescinded in August 2021, and related DOB violations were ultimately dismissed in March 2025.

Most recently, in May 2025, a permit was issued for construction work (Permit Type: AL), with previous permits recorded for various work types in 2020-2021, including plumbing and exterior work. The building's compliance record shows a pattern of recurring regulatory violations and construction-related challenges, though recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. While the construction violations were largely addressed through permit work and inspections, the open bedbug report violations represent the only remaining active housing maintenance code issue as of 2025.
