55 Duffield Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The property at 55 Duffield Street is a 2-story, 3-unit building located in Downtown Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by SBA Properties LLC. The building's maintenance history over the past several years shows some recurring issues, particularly in April 2022, when three separate non-emergency complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding water leaks (damp spots), wall paint/plaster conditions, and pavement issues outside the building.

While HPD inspected the pavement condition and found no violations, they were unable to gain access to inspect the reported water leak and wall issues, resulting in those complaints being closed without resolution. Earlier complaints included a bedbug violation in February 2022 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2025 show no infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units.

The building underwent a rodent inspection in February 2013, which it passed. A potentially concerning incident occurred in December 2018 when a complaint was filed about building shaking/vibration affecting structural stability, but an inspection on the same day found no violations. The bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met in recent years, with the most recent filing in January 2025 showing no infestation issues for the current reporting period.
