314 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
314 57th Street is a 4-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Josh Gruber. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a fire incident in November 2024 that affected Apartment 14 and the roof structure, causing damage to the brick parapet wall and resulting in multiple Class C violations. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges throughout 2025, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in May 2025 resulting in violations related to doors, flooring, and cabinets.
Earlier in 2025, there were concerning issues with heat and hot water availability affecting the entire building, as well as problems with pest control, plumbing, and appliance maintenance. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with regular inspections indicating ongoing infestations throughout 2024 and into 2025, despite the application of bait. The building's maintenance record shows persistent structural and safety concerns, including multiple violations related to building systems and safety features.
In 2024, several violations were issued concerning damaged fencing, building walls, and self-closing doors. The property has also experienced recurring issues with building access during inspections, particularly in 2025, where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to units for some complaints, requiring tenants to re-file complaints for proper inspection. While there have been some violations dismissed by the Department of Buildings, including three from February 2020, and relatively no recent bedbug issues reported since 2022, the pattern of maintenance requests and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident services. The most recent violation history, including three separate violations for heat/hot water issues, pest problems, and multiple door and cabinet complaints in 2025, indicates continued maintenance challenges requiring monitoring.
