Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story New Law Tenement at 361 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Janet Barkley, has a relatively clean record since 2020, showing consistent compliance with health regulations. The building, constructed in 1920 and containing 4 units, has maintained an exemplary bedbug management record over the past four years (2021-2024), with zero reported incidents of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The most recent bedbug report, filed in December 2024, confirmed no infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period. An initial rodent inspection conducted in June 2020 also resulted in a passing grade.

The building's only notable regulatory history involved two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022, both related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. Additionally, there were two complaints lodged in 2019 regarding potential illegal conversions of the property, but both investigations (conducted in February 2020) were marked as "No Access – 2nd Attempt" and the complaints were ultimately closed in 2020. Since then, there have been no further complaints or violations on record, suggesting improved compliance with housing regulations and proper management of pest control requirements.
