1801 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 1801 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by David Stein, has a mixed compliance history since its construction as a New Law Tenement in 1931. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022 for failing to submit the required annual bedbug reports.

In 2021, there was a similar violation that was ultimately closed. The building underwent significant scrutiny in 2018 when Yeshiva Karlin and Stolin faced multiple violations, including operating without a valid Certificate of Occupancy for a transformed educational use, maintaining non-compliant building conditions (notably broken second-floor hallway doors), and failing to file required compliance documentation, though all these violations were subsequently resolved.

An earlier boiler inspection violation from 2019 was dismissed in 2020 after the penalty was paid. More recently, a rodent inspection conducted in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade, representing a positive trend in building maintenance. The building's bedbug reporting compliance remains the most pressing current issue, as evidenced by the most recent violation from April 2024.
