330 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

330 51st Street in Sunset Park is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Ravindra Kumar. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant concerns centering around heat and hot water problems, which have been reported multiple times as emergency complaints in 2024-2025.

In early 2025, there were several maintenance issues, including mold (January), paint/plaster problems, and window frame concerns (January), all of which led to HPD inspections. Notably, apartment 4C has been identified with multiple violations from an August 2024 inspection, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and various maintenance needs such as wall painting and countertop repair, though these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water (including situations where inspectors couldn't gain access to apartments), water leaks, and unsanitary conditions.

While there have been several emergency complaints, HPD inspections generally found conditions either not violating housing laws or resulting in violations that required corrections. The building has maintained compliance in bedbug reporting, with no infestations recorded in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2023. Historical data from 2020-2021 shows the building completed local law audits, with inspections showing either compliance or no violations at the time of inspection.
