59 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

59 Livingston Street is a 6-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement built in 1917 located in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by Michael Cantor. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding water leaks and heating systems. In 2021, there were documented incidents of water leakage with damp spots and slow leaks, and in 2019, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Apartment 4E has been the focus of multiple violations, including several openings for water damage, mold in the bathroom requiring remediation, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though many of these violations have since been resolved. More recent building concerns include multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the building's exterior and safety systems. In 2023, violations were issued for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, while previous years saw issues with exterior wall maintenance and technical report submissions.

The building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2013 through 2025, indicating effective vermin control measures. While there have been several complaints about unpermitted work and after-hours activities between 2018 and 2024, inspections generally found no violations warranting enforcement actions. The property's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance, with no reported infestations from 2018 through 2024, and recent environmental violations related to exterior maintenance and documentation requirements have been addressed.
