467 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-unit, four-story building at 467 56th Street in Sunset Park, constructed in 1894 and currently owned by Mark Lynch, has experienced several significant and recurring issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has accumulated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.

Recent construction activity at the building has generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints in late 2024, including two cases of construction work performed contrary to approved plans/permits in October and November 2024, and a work without permit complaint in October 2024. These violations led to two Environmental Control Board violations issued in December 2024, with penalties of $2,500 for unauthorized construction work and $800 for unpermitted electrical work, both of which were resolved.

The building's history reveals ongoing access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances in 2020-2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the property during their final attempts to inspect complaints. More recently, in 2025, three active DOB violations were recorded, indicating continued regulatory oversight of the property's condition or operations. Given the building's age and history of violations, particularly regarding maintenance code compliance and construction-related issues, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of regulatory infractions requiring attention.
