410 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, two-unit old law tenement building at 410 53rd Street in Sunset Park, built in 1899 and owned by Paquita Beltre, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. The most concerning current matters include open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, and an open violation from 2019 regarding improper installation of window guards in the third-floor apartment.

The property has a documented history of various maintenance complaints as of September 2019, including issues with mold, pests, electrical outlets, and multiple problems with paint and plaster on ceilings and walls. Flooring issues were also noted, particularly concerning loose wood handrails on stairs and defective ceramic floor tiles in the third-floor kitchen. The building underwent several inspections and received various permits between 2020 and 2022, with three permits issued in July 2022 and others in 2020 and 2021 related to general alterations and plumbing work.

While there were some complaints related to electrical wiring in 2021 and COVID-19 compliance in 2020, both were determined to warrant no violations upon inspection. During the 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period, the building reported no infested units, suggesting either successful prior eradication or improved management of this particular issue. The property has shown some pattern of recurring safety compliance issues, particularly around reporting requirements and window safety features, though many earlier violations from 2019 were eventually closed following corrections, such as the securement of loose handrails and posting of required notifications in common areas.
