1631 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-family New Law Tenement at 1631 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by Deborah Weinstein, has a documented history of bedbug reporting compliance issues spanning several years. Most recently, the building has open violations from 2023 and 2024 indicating failure to file the annual bedbug report as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations are notable as they suggest ongoing non-compliance with mandatory health and safety requirements. However, the building's 2022 bedbug report, filed in March 2022 for the period of November 2020 to October 2021, showed no instances of infestation or re-infestation, and indicated that there were no units requiring eradication services. Looking at the building's history beyond pest management, there were two construction-related complaints filed in August 2018, both concerning work contrary to approved plans or permits.

These complaints were investigated but ultimately no violations were found by the Department of Buildings, with inspections in August and September 2018 determining that the complaints were unsubstantiated based on department records. The property, which is two stories tall and was built in 1923, has maintained its original building class designation as a New Law Tenement. While the recent bedbug report violations are concerning from a resident safety perspective, it's worth noting that the building's actual infestation history (as per the reports) appears to be non-existent during the documented periods.
