1664 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1664 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by Mordechai Hirth and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with similar violations documented in previous years (2021-2023).

Additionally, in early 2023, a serious concern was raised about unauthorized construction work, with a violation issued for work performed without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling. This included the installation of a new floor creating an unauthorized third level, along with alterations to the existing second-floor exterior. This violation, associated with the name Stefansky Aharon, led to a $2,500 fine that remains unpaid as of October 2023.

More recent activity includes a July 2025 Department of Buildings complaint resulting in an Oath Violation being served, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records. The building's documented history shows a persistent pattern of regulatory noncompliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, and raises concerns about safety and proper permitting procedures for construction work. The property is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating a potential history of conversion from a different use classification, though the specific nature of this conversion is not detailed in the records.
