553 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The four-story New Law tenement building at 553 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Teresa Swiderski, has an interesting history of both bedbug-related compliance issues and a recent active violation regarding exterior maintenance requirements. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its most recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2025, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation.
However, there is an ongoing Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from June 2023 concerning the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of the current date. The building's compliance with housing maintenance code requirements has been notably consistent in recent years, with annual bedbug report violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though these violations appear to have been resolved.
A historical DOB complaint from April 2019 regarding construction work beyond approved plans was investigated in June 2019 but resulted in no violations being warranted at that time. While the building has had its share of regulatory interactions, the most recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of pest control issues, and the active violation regarding the low-pressure inspection represents the only current outstanding regulatory matter as of mid-2025.
