839 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 839 57th Street in Borough Park, owned by Cai Guang Ou, has undergone regular inspections and maintained compliance with most housing maintenance requirements since the last documented bedbug infestation. The property, classified as a New Law Tenement and built in 1920, has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no infested units from 2019 through 2025.
However, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Class A violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building faced a significant safety concern in June 2022, when both the Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board cited violations regarding obstructed fire escape passageways at exposures 1 and 3, with penalties totaling $1,250 imposed for blockages caused by canopies and awnings.
More recently, in June 2023, two violations were issued for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection report, though these were ultimately dismissed by December 2023. Despite these violations, the building's most recent bedbug filings from 2024 and 2025 show no infestations, with all units being reported as free of bedbugs and no eradication efforts required.
