1135 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building at 1135 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Adele Teitelbaum and constructed in 1920, has a documented history of bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a violation notice for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report, though this violation has since been closed. Interestingly, the building had a similar violation in April 2021 for the same reporting requirement.

However, the bedbug infestation records over the past several years tell a different story. The building has maintained a perfect record with no documented bedbug infestations in any of the five consecutive annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025. All reports show zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The most recent filings, including the June 2025 report, confirm this continued absence of bedbug issues, covering the most recent reporting periods of November 2023 to October 2024, and previously for 2022-2023, 2021-2022, and 2020-2021. The consistent failure to submit the required bedbug reports in 2021 and 2024, while concerning from a compliance perspective, appears to have had no correlation with actual infestation issues, as evidenced by the building's perfect record of bedbug-free status for all reporting periods. All violations related to bedbug reporting have been subsequently resolved, and there have been no documented violations of a more serious nature that would impact resident safety or quality of life.
