42 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building at 42 East 56th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Cedric Allison, has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years. The most recent housing maintenance code violation, recorded in April 2024, is particularly noteworthy as it represents an open violation for failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, a requirement that was previously met in past years.

The building's documented history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting from 2019 through early 2023, with reports from both 2021 and 2023 indicating zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units during the respective reporting periods (November 2019 - October 2020, and November 2021 - October 2022). Prior to the 2024 violation, there was a similar violation recorded in February 2022, though this was subsequently closed.

The building, constructed in 1910, has a relatively limited recorded history of issues, with the bedbug reporting requirements being the primary focus of regulatory attention. While the recent open violation in 2024 suggests a current compliance issue, it's important to note that this is a reporting requirement rather than a direct indication of infestation or other health concerns, as demonstrated by the building's prior record of successful compliance and zero reported infestations in recent years.
