56 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 16-unit, 4-story building at 56 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1840 and currently owned by Jose Super, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about various building systems, including door/window frames, plumbing issues, and heat/hot water problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to complete inspections in most cases.
The building is currently facing open violations from an October 2024 inspection related to ceiling issues in the first-story vestibule, including exposed wiring, defective fire-rated materials, and paint conditions. There is also an active complaint from August 2024 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections. The property has a documented history of pest control compliance, showing no bedbug infestations reported in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 filings, though there were rodent activity inspections showing consistent issues between 2016-2018, with one "passed" inspection in 2015.
Recent construction activity has generated multiple complaints, including a May 2025 complaint about dust from construction work, resulting in a warning to the property management. The building has experienced recurring issues with thermal comfort, documented in multiple HPD complaints, and has been subject to several inspections regarding after-hours work in 2024-2025, though these were found to have no violations upon inspection. Between October 2024 and February 2025, the building underwent significant inspection activity, including at least two Stop Work Orders that were later rescinded, and received a $12,500 penalty related to tenant protection compliance and excessive dust during active construction.
