336 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-unit residential building at 336 51st Street in Sunset Park, owned by 336 51 Garden LLC, is a 4-story SRO structure built in 1905. The property has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues recently, particularly in 2025, with multiple violations related to sanitation and safety. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent issues, with a May 2025 inspection resulting in failed compliance.

April 2025 saw multiple violations issued by HPD, including problems with doors, flooring, and pest control, particularly regarding rodents. The building's heating and plumbing systems have also shown areas of concern, though inspections in March 2025 determined that the conditions did not violate housing laws. The property has open violations related to fire escape obstruction and yard refuse accumulation, as of October 2024, though there have been no recent reports of bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) indicating zero infested units.

A violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection was issued in September 2024. While there were multiple complaints about various building systems (including heat/hot water, doors/windows, and plumbing) earlier this year, most of these were investigated and determined not to violate housing laws, though violations were issued for some issues. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with pest control and periodic issues with building systems, though recent inspections have shown some improvement in various areas.
