358 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 358 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Stephanie Rusinak and constructed in 1923, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water emergencies reported in 2018, 2019, and most recently in October 2022, indicating ongoing challenges with the building's heating system.
Safety concerns have also been documented, including broken or missing window guards in August 2018, which were reportedly corrected after HPD's intervention. The building currently has open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2021, 2022, and 2024, and two open violations from October 2022 relating to defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and first-story vestibule. The property has an active Department of Buildings violation as of September 2024 regarding unfiled external low-pressure inspections for 2023, 2020, and 2021, as well as a related violation from November 2019 for an unfiled 2017 boiler inspection report.
Additional historical issues include various violations from 2019 concerning unauthorized items on fire escapes, such as flower pots and air conditioners, though these were eventually corrected by August 2019. A rodent inspection in May 2019 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting appropriate pest control measures were in place at that time. The building's documented history shows a recurring pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and safety compliance, with some violations remaining unresolved for extended periods.
