5923 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The property at 5923 21st Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Goldie Fisch, has a documented history of compliance issues and violations over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all indicating failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

More recently, in 2024, two active Environmental Control Board violations were issued against respondent Yitzchok A. Fisch, both dated May 10, 2024, with one concerning an illegally parked light gray Hyundai (violation number 39114067N) and the other regarding an improperly cut sidewalk curb (violation number 39114068P) – both violations dating back to a 2022 inspection and each carrying a $500 penalty.

The building also shows a history of complaints to the Department of Buildings, including reports of an illegal conversion and an unlawful curb cut/driveway, both from 2019, though the illegal conversion complaint was marked as "Inspector Unable to Gain Access." The two-story building, constructed in 1940 and now classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has maintained a single-unit (1) designation throughout its history. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the ongoing bedbug report violation pattern and the recently imposed ECB violations related to the property's exterior modifications. The building's documented history indicates a need for improved compliance with both housing maintenance and zoning regulations, particularly regarding the bedbug reporting requirements which have persisted for multiple years.
