231 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 231 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joyce Cheng, has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, though there was a notable pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug report filing in the years immediately preceding this compliance.
From 2021 through early 2024, the building received four consecutive Class A violations (fines for failure to comply with housing regulations) regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed and the building has maintained compliance since. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2024 covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this potentially pervasive issue.
Prior filings from August 2022 and April 2021 also reported zero infested units and successful eradication, covering appropriate historical periods and demonstrating a pattern of responsible bedbug management once the initial compliance issues were addressed. The building, constructed in 1912, has maintained its original New Law tenement classification throughout its history, which is typical for this type of early 20th-century housing in New York City.
