631 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 631 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xiao Bao, was constructed in 1924 and has had several notable events in recent years. Between March 2020 and June 2020, the building experienced multiple housing maintenance issues, including reports of pests and ceiling problems, though inspections resulted in no violations for the ceiling issue.

During this period, the building received several violations related to safety and maintenance standards, including encumbered fire escapes on multiple floors, a protruding air conditioner, and missing notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide requirements. Additional violations were issued for failing to properly post gas leak procedures and housing information notices. More recent data reveals consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing zero infested units.

The building has maintained regular annual bedbug reports since 2020, with no recorded infestations or eradications during this period. As of October 2023, the building's most recent inspection in March 2023 resulted in a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified based on subsequent filings. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most being certified as corrected within reasonable timeframes, though some safety-related issues such as the fire escape encumbrances were particularly concerning in terms of resident safety.
