266 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This two-family house at 266 53rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Dulce Poplow, has a documented history of access-related issues with Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections across multiple years. The most recent complaint in February 2025 regarding construction contrary to approved plans was closed in March 2025 without an inspection due to access denial, marking an ongoing pattern as a similar complaint from August 2024 was also closed in December 2024 under the same circumstances.

The building has faced several other notable complaints over the past five years, including an illegal conversion complaint in August 2022 and two illegal curb cut/driveway complaints in June 2024 and July 2018, though in both curb cut cases, inspections did not warrant any violations. On a more positive note, the property was issued a work permit in July 2023 for electrical work (job number 340892911), which indicates some level of maintenance or improvement activity.

The repeated inability of inspectors to gain access to the property during their investigations, particularly regarding construction and permit-related issues, suggests potential ongoing concerns about compliance with building regulations. The building's age (built in 1901) and its designation as a two-family house are consistent with typical Sunset Park properties, though the recent inspection access issues merit attention in the building's overall compliance history.
