425 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 425 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Juan Estrella, has experienced several concerning health and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open class A violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating the owner has failed to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The property has also faced rodent-related challenges, with a rat sighting reported in April 2024 that resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene violations requiring follow-up inspections. While a rodent compliance inspection in May 2024 ultimately passed, an initial inspection earlier that month resulted in a failure for unspecified "Other Reasons." The building, constructed in 1900 and classified as a converted Class A property, has been under scrutiny for multiple years regarding these health and safety matters.

The most recent documented issues relate to both rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance. While the May 2024 rodent compliance inspection passed, the presence of these repeated violations over time indicates a pattern of regulatory non-compliance that could impact resident quality of life. The property, which has remained under the same ownership throughout this period, has maintained its original three-story, three-unit configuration.
