433 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 433 56th Street in Sunset Park, built in 1901 and currently owned by Gary Dong, has experienced a series of construction-related incidents throughout 2022. The building was subject to multiple complaints regarding construction work beyond approved plans and permits between April and September 2022, with inspections resulting in various outcomes including stop work orders, Oath violations, and some inspections where the inspector was unable to gain access.

Of particular note, between June and September 2022, there were three instances where stop work orders were issued but subsequently rescinded, and two violations were filed in September related to a special inspector surrendering filing privileges, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's maintenance and safety record shows some concerning moments, including a rat sighting report in July 2022, though this was followed by a Department of Health inspection that found only minor violations.

However, there are no recorded incidents of bedbug infestations in the building over the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), with the property showing a clean record in this regard. While the building's history shows significant construction-related enforcement activity in mid-2022, it's worth noting that most of these complaints were resolved through inspections, with many resulting in no violations being found at the time. The most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 show no infestations, eradications, or re-infestions, suggesting consistent pest management practices in recent years.
