1151 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1151 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Teresa Turano and constructed in 1920, has faced ongoing regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open as of July 2025.

These recurring violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance with basic housing health requirements. In a more recent development, in June 2025, a complaint was filed regarding illegal hotel rooms in the residential building, though the Department of Buildings inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt to verify the complaint.

While the complaint was closed in June 2025, the building has not escaped scrutiny regarding potential unauthorized uses of the property. The persistent nature of the bedbug report violations, which span multiple years and remain open as of 2025, is particularly noteworthy given the potential impact on resident comfort and safety.
