558 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 558 50th Street in Sunset Park, owned by David Friedman, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025 alone, with three separate incidents between January 29 and February 1, including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues.
Similar heating problems have been reported consistently throughout 2023 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's heating system. The building also has four active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, as of September 2024. The property has experienced various safety and maintenance issues over recent years, including a fire escape inspection in April 2023 that did not result in violations, and several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2020-2021 related to individual unit repairs, security concerns, and fire escape access.
Apartment 3B had specific maintenance issues addressed in 2021, including mold remediation and plaster repair. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports filed in the annual surveys from 2019 to 2024, and passed rodent inspection in 2015. While many previous violations from 2020-2021 (including fire escape access, air conditioner support brackets, and security issues) have been resolved and closed, the recurring heating system problems and current inspection filing violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
