1559 61St Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 6-story, 11-unit residential building at 1559 61st Street in Borough Park, owned by Mendel Lipschutz, was constructed in 2016 and has had a generally routine history since its completion. The building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code regulations, with the most recent report for the period November 2023 to October 2024 indicating no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

While the building has received four HMC violations between 2021 and 2024 for not filing bedbug reports on time, all of these violations have been closed. The Department of Buildings has one active violation from 2019, though no description or disposition comments are available in the records. Several permits have been issued for the building over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various work including plumbing, electrical, and new building-related tasks.

A complaint for a "CSE: Sweep" was filed in June 2021, but this was found to have no violations warranting further action upon inspection. The most recent activity on record, as of April 2025, shows the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two filing periods (2022 and 2025), with no reported infestations in either case. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests some administrative challenges in meeting this specific regulatory requirement, though the most recent reports indicate proper compliance.
