563 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
563 56th Street, a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905 in Sunset Park, is currently owned by the 563 56st Condominium.
The building's recent history shows minimal significant issues, with the most notable incident being an electrical power outage in September 2021, which prompted a response from both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Housing Maintenance Code enforcement system; however, no violations were found during the investigation.
A more persistent concern is an open violation from May 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, where the building is required to maintain minimum 100-watt lighting from sunset to sunrise. On a positive note, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports for the past six years (from 2019 through 2024) showing zero incidents of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all units, indicating effective pest management practices are in place.
