718 East 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit building at 718 East 53rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Clorene Mckenzie and constructed in 1940, has a concerning pattern of unresolved housing maintenance code violations over the past several years, particularly relating to bedbug reporting requirements.

Most recently, violations were documented in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, all citing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules, and notably, none of these violations have been certified as resolved. The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues in 2015, with four consecutive compliance inspections between February and July of that year resulting in failed inspections for various unspecified reasons.

While these rodent issues were recorded nearly a decade ago, they underscore a possible historical pest management challenge in the building. The consistent pattern of open bedbug-related violations over the past four years, with no record of compliance or resolution, raises concerns about the management's adherence to required pest control protocols and reporting obligations.
