751 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 751 55th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Henry Koon and constructed in 1917, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a plumbing water supply emergency reported in January 2025, which remained unresolved as of April 2025 due to an inspector's inability to gain access for proper inspection - this complaint remains closed in the system.
The building has consistently received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirements. However, the most recent bedbug report filing for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 (submitted June 2024) indicated no infested units or re-infested units.
The property has one active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation dating from April 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2022 external low-pressure inspection, and there was a certificate of occupancy complaint filed in July 2023 which resulted in no warranted violations upon inspection in November 2023. While some historical issues, particularly with bedbug reporting compliance, have shown improvement with the most recent filing indicating no infestations, the ongoing plumbing access issues and active DOB violation regarding pressure inspection filing as of 2023 warrant attention.
