133 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 133 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Claude Roberts, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2020, with plumbing and water-related problems being the most recurring concerns. The building has documented two instances of water leakage in December 2020 - one classified as a slow leak and another as heavy flow in December 2021, both of which were eventually addressed though access for inspection could not be gained in one case. Additional plumbing issues were reported in December 2021 regarding toilet problems, which were corrected following HPD's involvement.

The most recent documented issues occurred in April 2024, with two identical complaints regarding pest-related sanitary conditions, though inspections did not result in any violations. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance, with all reports from 2020 through 2024 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting good management of this particular concern. Notably, a roofing issue was reported in December 2020 as an outside building problem, classified as emergency status, but HPD was unable to inspect the condition.

In March 2023, a violation was issued regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified as subsequent reports have been submitted. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past five years, most complaints have been addressed, with the exception of some where inspection access was not granted. The frequency of water-related issues (two instances in 2020 and one in 2021), and the recent pest complaints in 2024, stand out as the most significant maintenance patterns, though all recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of that particular issue.
