283 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
At 283 East 55th Street, a two-story New Law tenement building in East Flatbush owned by Marcia Melendez, recent records show primarily maintenance-related activity over the past several years. The most significant recent development is the issuance of two permits in July 2024 for exterior work (EW) and plumbing (PL) under job number 321450540, with the exterior work permit sequence numbered 05 and the plumbing permit sequence numbered 03.
These permits were properly issued and documented through the Department of Buildings. The building's history reveals a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2023, with three documented Housing Maintenance Code violations (in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021) specifically related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports.
However, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug report filed in February 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infestation cases (with counts of zero for infested, eradicated, and re-infested dwelling units), indicating successful compliance and resolution of this previous reporting issue. Prior to this, the building had a permit issued in May 2019 for exterior work (EW) under permit sequence number 04, suggesting regular maintenance of the property's exterior components.
