365 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 365 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jose Gonzalez, has experienced significant and ongoing heating system issues throughout 2025. Between February and May 2025, there were multiple complaints and emergency violations regarding heat and hot water service, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with most cases being resolved only after HPD intervention. The building, constructed in 1906, currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024, including issues with self-closing doors (Class C), broken ceramic floor tiles in the 3rd story public hall (Class B), and multiple problems in apartment 4R involving bathroom walls, tiles, and fixtures (Class A).

Other concerning violations include the need for proper garbage disposal receptacles and a missing smoke detector notice in the 1st story hall. The property has a history of compliance challenges, including three separate illegal conversion complaints between 2019-2025, with the most recent resulting in a full stop work order in July 2025. There are also persistent issues with rat activity, documented in inspections from February and April 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly concerning gas piping and conversion-related complaints in 2018-2021, though some violations have been dismissed or closed. A 2023 violation related to external low pressure inspection requirements was ultimately dismissed in November 2024. While many of the heating system issues appear to have been resolved at the time of inspection, the frequency of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
