349 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 349 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Leslie Douglas, has a construction history dating back to 1920. The building's recent records show recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), with four separate violations documented between 2021 and 2024.

While the bedbug violations remained open through 2023 and 2024, previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were closed, suggesting some pattern of non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Notably, the only bedbug-related filing on record was completed in May 2022, covering a period from November 2020 to October 2021, during which no infested or re-infested dwelling units were reported, and all units were listed as eradicated.

On a more positive note, the building successfully passed an initial rodent inspection in March 2020, indicating no significant rodent issues at that time. While the bedbug violation pattern suggests ongoing challenges with compliance requirements, it is worth noting that the actual infestation rates during the reported periods have been documented as zero. The most recent bedbug reporting violation from April 2024, which remains open as of the latest information, may warrant attention given the building's history of recurring violations in this area.
