198 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
198 East 55th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Joyce Davoren.
The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024, all citing the same infraction regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.
More recently, the building underwent a significant heating system issue in April 2020, when a complaint about lack of heat and hot water prompted a response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though tenants reported the problem was resolved shortly thereafter. While the heating incident appears to have been addressed quickly, the persistent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing administrative compliance issues that may warrant attention to ensure proper pest management practices are being followed.
