1018 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, seven-unit New Law tenement building at 1018 45th Street in Borough Park, built in 1926 and currently owned by Eugene Weinstein, has encountered several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heating system failure affecting the entire building in February 2019, which resulted in HPD inspections and violations.

The building has faced recurring issues with its bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. In May 2019, a series of violations were documented regarding inadequate safety and maintenance notices in the building's common areas, including missing fire safety information, heating system key access information, and carbon monoxide detector requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with a specific violation in March 2019 regarding inadequate heat supply in Apartment A2.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record in recent years regarding bedbug infestations, with all 2023-2024 bedbug reports indicating zero infested units or eradicated units. The only other complaint on record was a debris issue reported to the Department of Transportation in 2018, which was promptly closed. The property appears to have made efforts to address violations when issued, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations through necessary corrections, though some compliance lapses have required recurring attention.
