1174 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit residential building at 1174 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Solomon Landau, has been facing recurring compliance issues related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. The Housing Maintenance Code violations, which remain open as of April 2024, pertain specifically to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules. The building, constructed in 2005 and now classified as a converted Class A property, experienced a significant violation in 2022 when unauthorized construction work was discovered during an inspection, leading to a Full Stop Work Order and a $1,250 penalty related to the installation of a partially completed fourth-story vertical addition.

This violation was resolved, with the penalty being paid, though it indicated a period of unauthorized modifications to the structure. More recently, the property underwent a successful rodent inspection in February 2023, passing without any documented issues. An unrelated complaint regarding an illegal curb cut or driveway was lodged in March 2024 but was closed with no violation warranted upon inspection in January 2025.

The building's violation history shows a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with each annual inspection between 2021 and 2024 resulting in the same open violation. While the structure has generally maintained compliance with other health and safety standards, the persistent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing administrative oversight issues. The unauthorized construction incident in 2022, though resolved, represents the only significant structural compliance violation on record since the building's construction.
