1953 West 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
1953 West 5th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Gravesend, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, currently owned by Ying Chen, has experienced minimal pest-related issues over the past several years.
While the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports - a potentially serious matter - the situation appears to have been promptly rectified, as evidenced by subsequent filings. The most recent bedbug reporting records, spanning from late 2021 through December 2024, show that all three units have experienced bedbug infestations at some point, but all were successfully eradicated.
The most recent filing (December 2024) reports 0 infested units, 3 eradicated units, and no re-infested units for the reporting period of November 2023 to October 2024. This pattern of infestation and successful eradication suggests effective management of the issue, though potential tenants should note the historical presence of bedbugs in the building. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug problems, with no violations reported since 2022, and all units have been properly documented as eradicated in subsequent filings.
