256 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 256 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Jumane Pierre, has maintained an active maintenance record throughout 2023-2024. The most significant issues have been related to water leaks, with three separate slow leak complaints filed between March and May 2023, one of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

In addition, there were multiple paint and plaster concerns regarding walls and ceilings during the same period, with one ceiling-related issue designated as an immediate emergency. While all these complaints have been officially closed, with resolutions documented on the NYC HPD website, it's noteworthy that one inspection in March 2023 could not gain access for evaluation, leaving that particular complaint status somewhat uncertain.

In terms of pest control, the building appears to be free of bedbug infestations according to the 2024 report, which showed zero affected units between November 2022 and October 2023. Both the infestation, eradication, and re-infestation counts were recorded as zero, suggesting effective management of this particular concern. While the building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly concerning water damage and interior finishes, the absence of any documented bedbug problems during the most recent reporting period indicates some elements of successful property management.
