565 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 565 56th Street property is a three-story, six-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by HP Sunset Park I Hdfc Inc. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water reported throughout 2024 and into 2025, including three emergency complaints in January-February 2025, three similar incidents in 2024, and several complaints in 2023. These heating outages have generally been resolved quickly, often by the time HPD inspectors arrive, though access to units has sometimes been a problem for inspections.

The building underwent significant maintenance work in Apartment 2C between late 2023 and early 2024, addressing several violations including flooring repairs, mold remediation, electrical outlet repair, and other maintenance issues, with most violations certified as corrected by February 2024. Additional building-wide maintenance was performed in 2023-2024, including work on the heating system and various repairs. The property has maintained an active record of inspections and complaints, with particular attention needed for the recurring heating system problems.

In addition to the heating issues, there have been reports of flooring problems, including several complaints in late 2023, some of which resulted in violations. During 2023-2024, the building dealt with various maintenance issues in Apartment 2C, including mold problems, flooring defects, and electrical issues, all of which appear to have been addressed through HPD inspections and subsequent certifications. The building has a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the past several years, with regular annual filings showing no infested units. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirmed continued absence of infestations or eradications, dating back to 2018.
