1565 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

At 1565 59th Street in Borough Park, this four-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building owned by Shalom Twersky has several noteworthy patterns in its recent history. Most prominently, there is an ongoing series of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually since 2021 through 2024.

These violations indicate that the property has repeatedly failed to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. On the construction and safety front, during 2020 amid COVID-19 restrictions, the building received a $5,000 penalty for continuing non-essential construction work, though this violation was later resolved.

Two permits were issued in April 2019 for exterior and plumbing work, and another was issued in June 2020, suggesting that some maintenance or improvement work was being undertaken during this period. Notably, the building passed a rodent inspection in April 2013, which indicates compliance with basic health standards at that time. While the multiple bedbug report violation notices are the most significant concern, particularly regarding ongoing compliance with housing maintenance standards, the building's records also show periods of active maintenance work and temporary construction-related issues.
