1824 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-family New Law Tenement at 1824 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by David Frenkel, has experienced significant building code enforcement actions in 2022 that merit attention.

Most notably, there were two separate incidents of unauthorized construction activity in late 2022: a November complaint resulted in a building violation for failure to obey a stop work order, and a prior May complaint led to a full stop work order being served. These incidents suggest a pattern of non-compliance with proper permitting procedures, though both cases were officially closed by the Department of Buildings.

On a more positive note regarding resident conditions, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020 showing zero infested units, zero units that required eradication, and no reports of re-infestation. The three-unit building, constructed in 1931, has a relatively straightforward regulatory history with no major safety violations or recurring maintenance issues recorded in recent years, though the two building code violations in 2022 stand out as the only notable concerns in the available data.
