174 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 174 East 56th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Beverly Bailey, has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Most notably, there are currently two open violations from 2024 and 2023 indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While the property had these same violations in prior years (2021 and 2022), those were eventually closed. The building's official bedbug report for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 shows no recorded infestations, with zero units affected, eradicated, or re-infested, suggesting there may have been compliance with reporting requirements during that specific period, though this appears to be inconsistent with the subsequent open violations for 2023 and 2024.

This pattern indicates an ongoing issue with timely bedbug reporting compliance, though it should be noted that these violations pertain specifically to reporting requirements rather than actual bedbug infestations. The building, constructed in 1940, is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" and its violation history presents no other significant concerns through October 2023.
