1668 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The three-story, seven-unit New Law Tenement building at 1668 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Mendel Ofman, has experienced several recurring issues related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years. The building, constructed in 1917, has open violations from inspections in 2023 and 2024 specifically regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to bedbug reporting requirements, though the 2022 filing indicated no infestation was reported for the period of November 2020 to October 2021, with zero infested units or eradications recorded. In addition to the bedbug reporting violations, there was a food contamination incident reported and subsequently closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in late 2024, though this appears to be related to a food establishment rather than the residential building itself.

The property has maintained its structure as a three-story tenement building over the years, with no significant structural or safety violations recorded in the available data. While the bedbug reporting violations represent the primary pattern of regulatory non-compliance, it's worth noting that these are primarily administrative matters rather than direct indicators of current pest problems, given the previous periods with no reported infestations.
