317 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-unit, three-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 317 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Kam Kong, has experienced a recent heating/hot water issue in January 2025 that required emergency attention from both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code enforcement.
While this complaint was addressed and closed within a few days, the recurrence of heating system problems suggests potential underlying maintenance concerns.
The building's only other documented incident was a sidewalk shed/scaffold complaint in November 2021, which was promptly investigated and found to contain no violations at the time of inspection. Built in 1910, this structure is typical of the old tenement buildings found throughout New York City, and while the recent heating issue is notable, it appears to be the only significant resident-impacting event on record in recent years.
