765 53Rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

Situated in Sunset Park, 765 53rd Street is a 4-story, 3-unit tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Shixiong Zhou. The building has undergone significant construction activity between 2019 and 2022, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) work.

Between 2019 and 2024, the property experienced several construction safety compliance issues, including multiple stop work orders and Oath violations, particularly during 2020-2021 when there were repeated violations related to construction safety compliance and training requirements. While these violations were eventually resolved, they indicate a period of construction-related challenges. The building has had two recent violations in September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection, though these were dismissed in October 2024.

In the earlier period (2020-2021), there were multiple violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though all were subsequently dismissed. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug report for 2022-2023 showing zero infested units, and the most recent permits from 2022 indicate active maintenance and improvements to the building systems. The property has demonstrated compliance with most building requirements over time, with the major cluster of violations occurring between 2019-2021 during a period of significant renovation work, though these issues appear to have been resolved through proper procedures and permit approvals.
