224 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 224 53rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Ravindra Kumar, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, most notably recurring heat and hot water system problems. There have been two building-wide heat/hot water complaints in the past two years (December 2024 and December 2021), with the 2024 incident leading to an HPD inspection that found no housing law violations.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly during 2023-2024, including electrical outages, window maintenance issues, and a pattern of water-related problems. Multiple housing violations were identified in 2023, particularly affecting apartment 2F, including issues with roach infestation, window repairs, and safety concerns regarding a locked fire escape window. More recent inspections in early 2024 revealed several violations needing attention, such as a broken glass pane in the first-story vestibule door and the requirement to file an annual bedbug report.
However, the building's bedbug reports for 2021-2024 show zero infested units during the specified periods, suggesting effective monitoring. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, most complaints have been investigated with no violations found, though some apartments have experienced persistent issues requiring multiple complaints to address. Recent data indicates active management response to violations, with some being certified as closed by mid-2024, including filing requirements related to inspection certificates and removal of encumbrances in public areas.
