1769 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1769 55th Street is a two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Rachel Fried. Built in 1925, this property has been the subject of consistent scrutiny regarding its bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years.

The building has received four Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These violations, classified as Category A (which typically indicate conditions that may negatively affect resident safety or comfort), were all subsequently closed, suggesting compliance was achieved following the issuance of the violations.

Most recently, the property submitted its bedbug report in November 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating that during this reporting period, there were no infested dwelling units, no units that required eradication, and no instances of re-infestation. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024 raises some concerns about the building's prior compliance with HPD regulations, though the most recent report shows no current infestation issues. It's worth noting that the building's record shows no other significant violations or complaints in recent years, with the bedbug reporting issues being the most prominent pattern in its inspection history.
