1259 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1259 46th Street in Borough Park, owned by Zalmen Reisz and constructed in 1970, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring during a May 2022 inspection. During this inspection, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including two Class C violations related to defective self-closing doors (one at the boiler room and another at Apartment 1) and three Class A violations that remain open as of October 2023.

The open Class A violations pertain to various safety and compliance requirements, including the need to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detection device requirements, provide completed inspection certificates in the proper frame near mailboxes, and maintain proper signage regarding housing information guides and the building's registration number. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

The most recent bedbug report, filed in December 2024, covered the period from November 2023 to October 2024, and confirmed no bedbug activity during that time. While the open violations from the 2022 inspection represent ongoing compliance issues that impact resident safety and building standards, the absence of any bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods suggests effective pest management practices have been maintained in this respect.
