610 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement at 610 57th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Maria Silva, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2021. Most notably, there were two emergency cooking gas complaints in March 2021, though these were resolved within a few days and were found to be building-wide issues.

The building has had persistent pest problems, with multiple complaints recorded in September 2020 regarding unsanitary conditions and rodent sightings, including both mouse and rat activity as documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Multiple housing violations remain open as of 2024, most notably concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. The third-floor apartment (Apt 3) has experienced several specific maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, including violations related to mold (both ceiling and water leak issues), broken plaster surfaces, and various repairs needed to both the bathroom and foyer areas.

These violations pertain to requirements for proper repairs, uniform paint application, cabinet replacement, and roof repairs to prevent leakage. The building's history also shows various inspections and complaints in 2019 indicating rodent activity, with only one inspection result showing "Passed" during that period. While many previous complaints from September 2020 were closed with inspections showing no violations, the persistence of open violations and the pattern of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
