549 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 549 56th Street in Sunset Park, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yi Jian Dong, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the two open Class A violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code; these violations represent a recurring compliance issue since 2021.

The building has documented historical compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the period between November 2020 and October 2021, showing no infested units, though the current open violations suggest ongoing administrative non-compliance. The property has had some maintenance history worth noting, including a 2019 Class B violation regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which was resolved by May 2022.

There were also three complaints filed in 2022 regarding construction work without permits and work conducted contrary to approved plans, though inspections in each case found no violations warranted. Additionally, there was one incident in June 2022 where an inspector was unable to gain access to the property for inspection purposes. While the building's violation history shows some maintenance responsiveness, particularly in addressing lighting issues, the pattern of open bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing administrative oversight that requires attention.
