1420 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit New Law tenement located at 1420 44th Street in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Goldberger, has maintained a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with the most recent violations occurring in April 2024, March 2023, and February 2022, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

Notably, during the previous reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020, the building reported zero infested dwelling units, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation, and this 2021 report was filed timely on April 21, 2021, showing compliance during that specific period.

While the building's bedbug report status has remained open in recent years, it's important to note that these violations primarily relate to reporting requirements rather than confirmed infestations, and there are no documented violations or complaints regarding other building systems or conditions that might impact resident safety or comfort. The property, constructed in 1930, continues to operate as a traditional tenement building under current ownership, with the overlooking concern being the pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
