549 Empire Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 549 Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights, owned by Micheal Nedd, has maintained an active compliance schedule since 1924, with several notable recent and ongoing matters. Most concerning are multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2023 and 2024, though previous reports from 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 showed no infestations.

The building also has unresolved Department of Buildings (DOB) violations for failure to submit annual boiler inspection reports from 2017 and 2022, with records indicating an active penalty of $625 related to a boiler inspection report from 2019. While the building has experienced apparent rodent concerns, a recent complaint in July 2023 was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations found, and regular rodent inspections since 2011 have consistently passed, including most recently in February 2025. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance checks over the years, with some issues requiring attention.

A complaint about elevator devices in 2022 was closed due to insufficient information. Though the building has maintained regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, the persistent bedbug reporting violations and boiler inspection non-compliance remain the most significant regulatory concerns. The building's age and status as a New Law Tenement suggest it retains typical features for its class, and while the property has maintained generally good standards in many areas, the recurring issues with bedbug reporting requirements and boiler inspection compliance requirements indicate ongoing administrative oversights.
