302 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 302 East 56th Street in East Flatbush, currently owned by Devon Mitchell, has several significant issues over recent years that merit attention. Most notably, there is a persistent pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These repeated violations suggest ongoing challenges with meeting mandatory health and safety reporting requirements. In early 2022, the building underwent unauthorized construction work, specifically the removal of a garage door and installation of a brick wall with a new door at street level.

This work was completed without proper permits, leading to a violation notice and subsequent Oath violation served to the owner, though the violation appears to have been resolved with no penalties imposed. A rodent inspection conducted in March 2020 was passed, indicating no current rodent issues at that time. The property, built in 1950, has maintained its two-story structure under the "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation, though the frequent bedbug report violations are particularly concerning from a tenant safety perspective.
