290 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The four-unit, two-story residential building at 290 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Gail Henry-Ross, has a notable history of routine housing code violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. The building, classified as a New Law Tenement and constructed in 1920, has consistently received annual violations between 2021 and 2024 (most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) rules.

These violations, all classified as "Class A," indicate a failure to comply with basic maintenance requirements, though their persistent nature suggests neglect in addressing the reporting obligation rather than an immediate health hazard. In terms of building improvements or structural work, there is a documented permit from June 2022 (Job Number 340854409) for work classified under the "EW" category, which was successfully issued and represents the only recorded permit activity for this property in recent years.

While the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data, the fact that it was permitted and issued legally indicates at least some level of maintenance or improvement efforts have been made to the property. However, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations remain the most significant trend in the building's recent history, representing an area of persistent regulatory non-compliance.
