1238 58Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story building at 1238 58th Street in Borough Park, owned by Benzion Lebovits, has a significant number of unresolved issues and violations that deserve attention. Most notably, there is an ongoing series of Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, all currently left in open status. From a safety and construction perspective, there are two active concerns: a Sustainability Enforcement Work Order from January 2025 where access was not granted for inspection, and an Environmental Control Board violation from November 2024 involving THB Custom Builders Inc.

for work not conforming to DOB approved plans during the excavation and foundation phase, with a penalty of $6,250 still due. The building has experienced various construction-related issues over the past few years, including a Construction complaint in November 2024 regarding work beyond approved plans (though a Stop Work Order was fully rescinded in December), a Fence complaint in February 2024 that found no violation warranted at the time of inspection, and a Sidewalk Shed complaint in October 2023 that also found no violation warranted. In December 2022, there was an ECB violation issued against Swift Services Corp.

regarding inactive jobsite conditions occupying roadway space, which was resolved with no penalty. Two permits were issued on November 23, 2022, under job numbers 322106430 and 322106449, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data. The building has been through multiple construction phases and regulatory scrutiny, with particular attention required on the recurring bedbug reporting violations and the recent construction compliance issues.
