368 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

368 East 55th Street is a two-story, two-unit residential building built in 1930 and currently owned by Trevor Odwin. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaints in October 2024 involving water leaks and wall problems that were not fully accessible for inspection, as well as a heat/hot water issue that was reportedly corrected. Notable recurring issues include multiple complaints about ceiling paint/plaster problems in October 2023, heavy water leaks in both September 2023 and October 2024, and a window pane issue in February 2024.

The building has also faced pest problems, with documented infestations of both roaches (2024) and mice (2023), though a rodent inspection from June 2020 had passed. The most pressing current violations, as of October 2024, include concerns about safety equipment and building conditions in Apartment 1stand, such as missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold in the bathroom ceiling, and issues with the roof leaking onto the ceiling. There are also multiple violations related to paint and plaster conditions, as well as an infestation problem.

A bedbug report violation from April 2024 remains open. Recent complaints have shown patterns of access issues for inspectors, with multiple cases where they were unable to gain entry to fully assess the reported problems. The building's history also includes a July 2023 complaint about an illegal conversion, though this inspection was marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt in September 2024.
