560 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 560 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Johnathan Einhorn, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems appearing in 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple complaints were logged and closed, including concerns about flooring, sewage, water leaks, plumbing issues, pest problems, and ceiling conditions. These followed a pattern of similar issues from previous years, notably continuing pest infestations and water-related problems.

In early 2024, the building received violations related to water leaks, with specific issues documented in Apartment 2R affecting the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, as well as concerns about broken plaster surfaces, fire escape defects, and non-functional self-closing doors. An inspection in January 2024 also revealed missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3R and ongoing pest problems, though the most recent bedbug reports (through November 2024) show no infestations. The building's maintenance history shows a persistent pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks in 2021, when violations were issued for heavy flow and damp spots.

There have also been documented problems with sanitation, including sewage odors in January 2022 and a general unsanitary condition complaint that resulted in violations. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status based on consistent reporting since 2020, with no documented infestations. While some violations have been resolved, including a 2024 requirement to repair the back fire escape ladder, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in areas related to water damage, pests, and safety systems.
