295 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 295 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Orel Smalling and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building currently has multiple active violations for failing to file the required external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020, 2021, and 2022.

In 2023, there were also inspections that recorded violations related to bedbug report filing requirements, though these were subsequently closed. Recent complaints recorded in October 2023 included allegations of unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling and excessive debris, though these investigations either could not be completed or found no violation at the time of inspection.

Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status across all reporting periods from 2019 through the present, with no confirmed infestations, eradications, or re-infestations recorded. The property's bedbug reports have been properly filed in recent years, with the most recent filing in 2025 indicating no reported issues during the 2023-2024 period. While the building has had its share of regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding required inspections, the absence of bedbug-related incidents and the timely filing of most subsequent annual reports is a positive aspect of its maintenance record.
