82 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 82 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Wayne Bostic, has a concerning recent history of fire damage and bedbug reporting violations. The most significant current issues are two open Class C violations from December 2023, documenting fire damage that affected both the 2nd Floor apartments 2F and 2R, both of which require nuisance abatement according to § 27-2005 of the Administrative Code and § 309 of the Multiple Dwelling Law.

Additionally, there is a recurring administrative violation concerning bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent April 2024 Class A violation regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code. Despite these violations, recent bedbug reporting data indicates no current infestations in the building. The most recent bedbug filing from May 2025 covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing zero infested units and no reports of eradicated or re-infested units.

This follows a pattern of consistent zero infestation reports in previous years, including the 2023 filing (covering 2021-2022) and prior submissions from 2022 and 2021. While the bedbug reporting violations suggest previous non-compliance with reporting requirements, the actual conditions appear to have been well-managed, with no recorded infestations in the last several years. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and recent fire incident, however, warrant attention, particularly given the open violations requiring administrative follow-up.
