550 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 550 Sheffield Avenue in East New York, owned by Statewide Property, has a documented history spanning several years with particular attention required to its recent pattern of bedbug reporting violations. Since 2021, the property has been consistently cited for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open.

This violation pattern contrasts with the 2021 filing period, during which no bedbug activity was reported (with zero infested or eradicated units). The building has also experienced some safety-related issues, particularly in 2021 when a Class C violation was issued regarding self-closing door requirements in Apartment 3, and another Class A violation noted the need for proper gas leak notification procedures, though these were subsequently closed. Additionally, a requirement for proper housing information guide notifications in English and Spanish was identified in 2021, which was addressed by June of that year.

The property's earlier history from 2011 to 2012 shows good maintenance practices, with successful rodent inspections passed in both 2011 and 2012. However, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations form a concerning pattern that has persisted for multiple consecutive years, suggesting potential challenges in meeting housing maintenance code requirements. The building, constructed in 1930, has experienced minimal structural issues based on available records, though the consistent bedbug report violations indicate a particular area requiring attention within the building's maintenance history.
