953 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 953 53rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Bi Li, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most notably, the property has recurring bedbug report filing violations from 2022 to 2024, though records show no confirmed infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period.

Between 2018 and 2019, several significant safety concerns were documented, including multiple open violations related to door self-closing mechanisms, smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, and window guard compliance in various units (particularly affecting Basement Apartment BB and 1F). The building underwent unpermitted construction work in late 2018, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding unsafe conditions and lack of proper permits, though these were subsequently resolved with imposed penalties totaling $3,925. Additional quality of life concerns were noted during this period, including complaints about excessive debris and illegal after-hours work, though inspectors either found no violations or were unable to gain access during these inspections.

The most recent violations from 2024-2022 primarily focus on bedbug reporting compliance, while previous issues regarding security features such as a problematic fence hasp device (2020) and various self-closing door concerns (2019) also remain open. Despite the appearanace of these violations, a bedbug infestation was not reported during the official filing period of November 2019 to October 2020, suggesting that the violations may relate more to administrative compliance than active pest management issues. The building was converted to Class A status and has undergone multiple permit issuances, including plumbing and electrical work, though details on the completion or current status of these permits are not clearly stated in the provided data.
