Augrented Insights Report for 227 55th Street

227 55th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park and owned by Penelope Georgakopoulos. The building, constructed in 1911, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were violations issued for flooring issues and pest problems in April, and the building has open violations as of December 2023 related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements for Apartment 2F.

Multiple Safety complaints were recorded in October 2023 regarding window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors, with violations issued for the window guard issue. The building has demonstrated recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed in May 2025 covering various issues such as unsanitary conditions (including mold), flooring problems, and repairs needed to various building systems and fixtures. Apartment 3F appears to have significant ongoing maintenance requirements, with multiple open violations from November 2023 related to painting, plaster repair, and fixture security.

The property has maintained an active bedbug management record, showing zero infestations or eradications reported in the past three filing periods from 2022 through 2025, and passed a rodent inspection in 2013. Historical complaints include an access issue regarding building shaking/vibrations in March 2023 (though this could not be verified by inspectors) and a dismissed violation in June 2023 concerning an external low-pressure inspection filing requirement. The building's documented issues suggest a pattern of maintenance challenges typical of older tenement buildings, with particular attention needed to address the open violations and recurring flooring and safety system concerns. However, the property has maintained consistent bedbug-free status in recent filings and has not reported any new bedbug cases since 2022, with only one housing complaint involving unsanitary conditions related to pests in April 2025.
