1507 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1507 East 34th Street in Flatlands, currently owned by Martin Paul, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

While the property filed bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022 showing no infestation in the designated periods (November 2019-2020 and November 2020-2021), the recent open violations suggest possible non-compliance with reporting requirements rather than an active infestation issue. The building has also faced some structural and safety concerns, including a complaint in April 2023 regarding egress issues, which was investigated but found to have no violations warranting citation.

Additionally, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion filed in April 2023, though access was denied during both inspection attempts and no violation was recorded. Despite these concerning patterns, it's worth noting that only two of the four bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024 have remained open, while two from 2022 and earlier have been closed. The building's age (constructed in 1940) and its classification as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it underwent a conversion to a multiple dwelling unit configuration, which is consistent with its current three-unit layout.
