1353 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit residential building at 1353 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Jack Janklowicz and constructed in 1982, has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with the most recent filing in May 2024 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 period, and previous filings from 2022 and 2021 also reporting zero infestations.

However, there is a record of regulatory attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed and appear to correspond to reporting periods prior to the building's current compliant status. In late 2021, the building was the subject of a complaint regarding unauthorized construction work, specifically an enclosed extension with steel column supports constructed at the second floor without proper permits or documentation.

This led to an Environmental Control Board violation, which was resolved without any penalties imposed. The property’s inspection and violation history suggests increasing compliance with safety and reporting requirements over time, particularly in relation to bedbug management, with no recorded violations or infestations in recent years. The building's three stories and three units have all maintained occupancy under the current ownership, with the most significant structural and regulatory issues appearing to have been addressed promptly when they were identified.
