926 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, four-unit building at 926 45th Street in Borough Park, owned by Leah Trebits, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating system reliability and an apparent lack of regular bedbug monitoring compliance. Between late 2020 and early 2021, there were four documented incidents of heat and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual units, with the most recent occurring in November 2021.

During these incidents, while HPD was notified, they generally received reports of restoration from tenants, though one November 2020 incident required multiple access attempts for inspection. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges as documented in September 2020, including issues with electrical wiring, window frames, a ceiling requiring paint/plaster work, and the presence of pests, all of which were inspected without resulting in violations.

More concerning is the building's current status regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with three open violations since 2022 (most recently in April 2024), indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per HPD regulations. This follows a previous violation in 2021 which was subsequently closed, though during the 2019-2020 reporting period covered by their April 2021 filing, the building reported no infested units, no eradicated units, and no reinfestions. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the relatively prompt closure of several service requests, though many complaints show a pattern of recurring heating system problems specifically during the 2020-2021 timeframe.
