266 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The two-family house at 266 56th Street in Sunset Park, built in 1899 and currently owned by Joel Lebovits, has a notable history of regulatory issues and recent compliance activities.
In 2007, the building faced multiple violations related to unauthorized modifications and occupancy status, including illegal cooking spaces, improper plumbing fixtures, and conversion from a private dwelling to a multiple dwelling, though all these violations were certified closed in August 2023. In 2009, a carbon monoxide detection device violation was recorded in the second-story apartment, which has also since been resolved.
More recently, in early 2023, there was a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the building that resulted in an inspector's visit in April 2023, though access was not granted for the inspection. The building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, indicating effective maintenance of residential conditions.
