553 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 24-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 553 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by George Carrasco and constructed in 1911, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2025, particularly with heating system reliability. Multiple heat and hot water complaints have been filed and investigated by HPD, with the most recent incidents occurring in May 2025, though in some cases heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections.
The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including problems with appliances, flooring, stairs, and water leaks, with several complaints being closed after inspections. Significant building-wide maintenance issues have been documented, including violations related to refuse accumulation and public hall cleanliness, as well as a defective self-closing entrance door.
In 2024, an inspection revealed mold and a problematic key-operated lock on a fire escape in Apartment Q, though these violations were later certified as corrected. The building's boiler system has been a recurring concern, with multiple "Defective/Inoperative/No Permit" complaints filed in 2022-2023, leading to an active Environmental Control Board violation in May 2023 for various boiler defects, including a leaking water meter and defective spill switch. While rat activity has been documented through several inspections between 2021 and 2024, the most recent bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations recorded in the building.
