225 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

225 56th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912 in Sunset Park, currently owned by Bernard Bluzenstein. The building has a recurring history of administrative code violations, particularly regarding building maintenance requirements, with five open violations from 2019 related to signage and security requirements in the public hall, including missing notices for heating system access, smoke detector requirements, registration information, and a malfunctioning entrance door self-closing mechanism.

More recently, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the 2025 report showing no infested units, and previous reports in 2022 also indicated no infestations. The building's entrance to 311 service requests shows two incidents in April 2019, one concerning unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (with violations issued) and another relating to door issues (no violations found).

While there were some rodent activity issues documented in 2011, subsequent inspections in 2012 and 2013 passed without any findings. A vacant/unguarded building complaint from late 2021 was referred to the NYPD but has no subsequent implications on record. The building's most recent major inspection activity has focused on bedbug reporting compliance, with violations from previous years now closed, though the presence of numerous open violations from 2019 suggests ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
