252 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The two-family house at 252 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Sam Bilas, is a 2-story building constructed in 1899.
The property has experienced recurrent issues with its bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules. While the building's official bedbug reports from 2019-2020 show no infested units, with counts of 0 for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing oversight in reporting compliance.
Notably, there was one closed violation from 2021, which may indicate temporary rectification, though the recurring nature of these violations through 2022-2024 points to persistent challenges in maintaining reporting compliance with city regulations. The building's age and history as a 2-family house should be considered in the context of these compliance issues, though it should be noted that the actual presence of bedbugs has not been documented in recent official reports, as all reporting periods from 2019-2020 show no infestation problems.
