1016 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The property at 1016 43rd Street in Borough Park is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Uri Gartenhaus. The building has experienced several notable events regarding health and safety concerns over the past several years. A significant incident occurred in early 2019 when a complaint was filed regarding drinking water-related illness, though this investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene did not result in any violations.

In April 2021, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as there have been no subsequent violations. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through the present shows consistent compliance, with all annual reports indicating zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. The property's rodent management history shows mixed results between 2015 and 2024.

Two inspections in 2015 (August and October) resulted in failed compliance for "Other Reasons," though the specific nature of these issues is not detailed in the records. More recently, in early 2024, there was an initial inspection in March that noted rat activity, though this was followed by a compliance inspection in April that passed. This pattern suggests ongoing challenges with rodent control, though the most recent inspection indicates improved conditions. Despite these various issues, the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and maintained regular inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection showing passing results, indicating some attention to addressing these persistent concerns.
