935 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 935 56th Street in Borough Park, built in 1920 and owned by Hong Zhu, has faced persistent pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building experienced multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests, with complaints filed in May that went uninspected due to access issues, and earlier complaints in March where violations were found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The property has documented rodent sightings in 2021 (which passed inspection) and 2024, with three inspections in 2024 showing rat activity in March and May, though a July inspection resulted in a passing grade. While the building complied with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, showing no infested units during these periods, it did incur two Class A violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to file the annual bedbug report - these violations are now listed as closed. The building's recent history highlights ongoing pest control challenges, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed through the 311 system and HPD regarding pests.
The property's rodent inspection results show a mix of compliance and rat activity findings, though the most recent July 2024 inspection resulted in a pass. While the building has maintained current bedbug reporting compliance with no reported infestations in the past three years, the pattern of rodent-related complaints and inspection results suggests an ongoing need for attention to pest management within the building. It's worth noting that access issues prevented inspections of some reported conditions in 2024, and residents were advised to file new complaints if problems persisted.
