855 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 855 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Pixiang Chen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and safety concerns over the past four years. Most recently, the building underwent inspections in 2024 and 2023 revealing violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though the 2024 report indicates no infestations during the 2022-2023 period.

The building has two active violations from April 2022 regarding non-compliance with lead paint notification and record-keeping requirements, which remain unresolved as of the latest data. The property has a concerning history of safety-related incidents, particularly in 2021, when multiple violations were documented in Apartment R, including issues with self-closing doors, roach infestation, visible mold in the bathroom, and defective plaster surfaces requiring repair.

Earlier safety concerns were documented in February 2022, when both carbon monoxide and smoke detector complaints were filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. While some violations have been resolved, including the 2021 apartment issues and various bedbug report violations from 2021-2023, the building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding compliance with health and safety regulations.
