412 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit tenement building at 412 57th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Luis Cardova, has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations dating back to 2020. Most recently, in December 2024, multiple urgent and non-urgent violations were recorded, including problems with doors, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions such as mold and pest infestations. Notably, there are two open Class A violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and several ongoing Class B and C violations from 2021-2022 involving door repairs, floor issues, and pest control requirements in Apartment 3.

The building has experienced recurring issues with building systems and amenities, including unresolved complaints about the intercom system and cooking gas access in 2022, and a heat/hot water complaint in 2021 that could not be inspected due to access issues. Historical records show the building was inspected for rodent issues in 2019 and passed, though subsequent inspections revealed persistent pest problems, with violations issued for mice infestation in Apartment 3 in late 2024. The property has also faced significant challenges regarding its emergency safety systems, with open violations related to self-closing doors to public halls and fire escape access from Apartment 3.

While some complaints were resolved, including heating issues and various maintenance problems, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1901, is classified as an Old Law Tenement and has undergone periodic inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and other city agencies over the past several years. Please note that while this summary highlights the most significant issues on record, it is based solely on available public data and may not represent the full scope of building conditions or recent developments beyond October 2023.
