327 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story old law tenement building at 327 59th Street in Sunset Park, managed by 327 XK LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being unsanitary conditions related to mold. Two documented mold complaints were filed, one in 2019 and the most recent in August 2023, though inspections did not result in violations.

A more recent inspection in September 2023 revealed multiple building maintenance issues requiring attention, including broken fire retardant materials, damaged plaster surfaces, an insecure wood handrail, and deficiencies in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3R. While most of the September 2023 violations were certified as corrected by October 2023, there remains one open violation regarding paint requirements in the cellar ceiling. The building has a documented history of various safety and maintenance concerns, including emergency complaints in 2019 about lighting issues, elevator problems, and ceiling damage.

Past incidents also included illegal construction work in 2019, which resulted in a $1,250 fine from the Environmental Control Board for unauthorized drywall and electrical work on the fourth floor, though this was later resolved. Fortunately, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent five annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property's inspection and complaint history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding compliance with safety systems and general upkeep, though many recent violations have been promptly addressed once identified.
