256 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 256 54th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Alex Santiago, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, most recently in November 2024 and December 2022, though in the latter case, restoration of service was confirmed by a tenant during the HPD's response. The building is currently facing several significant open violations as of November 2024, including failures to maintain proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas.
Additionally, there are violations related to the proper posting of the building's registration number and inspection certificate notice near mailboxes. The property has also been cited for bedbug reporting compliance issues in both March and April 2023-2024.
A garbage/recycling storage issue was reported and investigated in May 2023, though no violations were found at that time. A swimming pool maintenance violation was recorded in July 2021, resulting in a summons to the owner. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1899), these recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and safety notice requirements.
