265 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
265 53rd Street is a two-story, two-unit residential building in Sunset Park, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jose Herrera. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably in 2025 when the building became subject to structural monitoring due to exposure and partial demolition of a 36-foot-long rubble foundation wall.
Multiple active violations were issued between March and June 2025, including three separate orders requiring the owner to submit a Corrective Action Plan addressing the compromised foundation wall, as well as a violation related to the failure to maintain the structure despite a Commissioner's Order requiring repairs. The building has a history of electrical issues, with two separate "no lighting" emergencies reported in July and December 2022, though no violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development in response to these complaints.
The property has also been cited for failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, though subsequent filings for the periods covering 2023-2025 indicate no bedbug infestations were reported in any dwelling units. The most recent bedbug report, filed in January 2025, confirmed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units for the 2023-2024 reporting period.
