55 Newel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 55 Newel Street property is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building located in Greenpoint and constructed in 1928, currently owned by Janusz Zajaczkowski. The building has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny over the past few years, particularly regarding its annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, though all these violations were ultimately closed.

The property also faced two violations in 2023 related to failures to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2021 and 2022, both of which were dismissed by September 2023. Despite these regulatory challenges, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2023, 2024, and 2025 show no recorded infestations, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested or eradicated units.

Historical complaint records from 2019-2020 show two inspections - a tenant safety inspection and an illegal activity complaint - both resulted in no violations being found. The building has had three external work permits issued between February and November 2019, with the most recent being issued in November 2020. While the property has experienced periodic regulatory issues, particularly with timely reporting, the absence of documented infestations in recent bedbug reports and the closure of most violations suggest compliance efforts have continued, though the pattern of repeated violations indicates some challenges in maintaining timely documentation.
