559 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 559 56th Street in Sunset Park, managed by owner Justa Santiago and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent incident was a heat and hot water emergency in May 2024, which was temporarily resolved according to tenant reports.
Prior to this, there was a water supply plumbing issue in March 2022 that was addressed promptly. The building has also been subject to recurring administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with notice of violations issued in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023, though the most recent 2024 bedbug report filing indicated no units were affected during the 2022-2023 period.
Additionally, there was a B-class violation in 2019 concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance, which was certified as corrected within weeks of notification. While the building's recent history shows proper reporting and addressing of emergencies, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations and essential service interruptions suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance compliance.
