547 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
547 49th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building in Sunset Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Zihong He. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding plumbing and heating issues. In April 2024, there was a building-wide heat/hot water complaint that resulted in an emergency response, though inspectors were unable to access apartments to verify the problem.
The building experienced multiple violations in October 2023, including issues with plumbing (bathtub/shower), windows, ceilings, mold, and flooring, all of which were cited during inspections but remain on record as violations. Of particular note are several open violations from October 2023 related to Apartment 1L, including leaky faucets, water damage, and various issues with plastered surfaces and paint in multiple rooms and bathrooms. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with previous emergency heat/hot water complaints in October 2022 and April 2024.
Plumbing issues have been recurrent, with violations noted in both 2022 and 2023, though some complaints from 2022 were closed with no violations found. While the property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024 (showing no infestations), and passed rodent inspections in July and November 2022, the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and water systems, suggest persistent infrastructure challenges. The most recent inspection in April 2024 resulted in violation notices, including a broken glass pane at the building entrance, though some previously documented violations from October 2023 were officially closed by November 2023.
