358 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

358 55th Street is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located in Sunset Park, built in 1920 and currently owned by Wei Chen. The building has undergone regular inspections over the past several years, with the most recent significant focus being on bedbug reporting compliance.

From 2021 to 2023, there were three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all of these violations have since been closed. Under the bedbug reporting system, the building has consistently reported zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units in its most recent submissions covering the periods from 2019-2020 through 2023-2024, indicating effective management of this particular issue despite the initial reporting compliance violations.

The building's only open violation, recorded in 2019, pertains to inadequate exterior entrance lighting, specifically requiring a minimum of 100 watts of incandescent light to be maintained from sunset to sunrise at the front entranceway. Notably, the property passed its initial rodent inspection in December 2015, suggesting compliance with basic sanitation and pest control standards. While the building's track record shows attention to reporting requirements and pest management, the pattern of bedbug report violation notices and the single open lighting violation warrant consideration of the property's maintenance history over recent years.
