565 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
At 565 49th Street in Sunset Park, this 4-story, 8-unit tenement built in 1910 has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between December 2024 and January 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with six separate incidents reported through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Though some complaints were resolved promptly, two inspections resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for verification.
The building has also faced other significant issues, including a cluster of violations identified in June 2024 in apartment 1L, documenting problems with pests (including mice), water leaks, mold, and multiple concerns regarding safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Additional violations from June 2024 involve encumbrances in public areas on the first floor, specifically regarding bikes and shopping carts. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2023 showing consistent rat presence, though an inspection in August 2023 passed.
Building systems maintenance has been problematic, as evidenced by an active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation. While the bedbug situation appears to have stabilized with no reported infestations in the latest 2023-2024 report, the building's overall maintenance history shows recurring patterns that may affect resident quality of life. An illegal conversion complaint filed in January 2024 and a work without permit complaint from 2022, though ultimately not resulting in violations, suggest concerning compliance patterns.
