1457 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, single-unit New Law Tenement building at 1457 43rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Moshe Potchin, has exhibited consistent compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Since 2021, the building has received four Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While these violations are classified as "A" (indicating they are serious but not immediately hazardous), they directly pertain to record-keeping and compliance rather than resident health and safety. Interestingly, the building's actual bedbug infestation history appears to be minimal during this period, with official filings in 2021 and 2023 indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units in the respective reporting periods. The most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 was filed in April 2023, consistent with HPD requirements, showing no infestation issues.

The property has maintained this bedbug-free status in the subsequent reporting period of November 2022 to October 2023 as well. While the pattern of violations suggests administrative oversight or compliance challenges, the actual pest control situation in the building appears to have been effectively managed over the past four years. The most recent open violation as of April 2024 remains from the 2024 inspection, though it is notable that this violation appears to be similar in nature to previous ones, rather than indicating a reoccurrence of infestation problems.
