313 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 313 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joseph Filocomo, has experienced several recurrent maintenance issues over the past four years, with the most significant problems revolving around heat and hot water systems. Between January and April 2023 alone, there were four separate complaints regarding heat/hot water issues in apartments, with HPD unable to gain access for inspections. In 2025, a lighting issue was reported but remained unresolved due to inspection access problems.

The building has also faced structural maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, when violations were documented regarding self-closing doors at multiple locations including the building entrance and various floors, as well as encumbered fire escape access on multiple levels. A concerning rat activity problem has been consistently recorded, with inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all indicating rat activity. The building's mechanical systems have required attention, evidenced by a 2021 boiler violation related to multiple defects including a missing relief valve discharge pipe and other safety concerns, though these issues appear to have been addressed.

Notably, there seems to be an outstanding violation regarding the 2023 external low pressure inspection that was not filed as of September 2024. Despite these maintenance challenges, it's important to note that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and the most recent DEP inspection in March 2024 recorded no significant violations. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with most being officially closed, though not all issues appear to have been fully resolved, particularly regarding access for inspections and some recurring systems problems.
