629 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

629 56th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Jose Tupacyupanqui. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past four years, most notably a heat and hot water outage reported in March 2021, though this was resolved within a day according to both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code records.

The property has been in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021, but a significant recent development is the June 2025 filing showing all 6 units infested with bedbugs, with no units reported as eradicated or re-infested since the previous period. The building has encountered various regulatory challenges, including three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code Violations (2021-2023) related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, and Environmental Control Board violations in 2019 for work without permit related to window frame replacement and demolition in public hallways, resulting in penalties totaling $4,375 (though records indicate these were resolved).

There were also complaints about illegal after-hours work in September 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. More recently, a violation issued in June 2023 regarding failure to file for 2018 external low-pressure inspection was dismissed in August 2023. The building's permit history shows an issuance in October 2019 related to window work, though this appears to have triggered subsequent enforcement actions.
