549 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit, three-story building at 549 59th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Erika Corsillo and constructed in 1899, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in three emergency complaints filed in 2024 and one in 2019, all indicating problems with the heating system affecting the entire building. The most recent incidents occurred in January 2024, with both complaints resolved within one to two days, though tenants were advised to refile if issues persisted.

The building currently has four open Class A violations (dating from 2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, and a historical Class B violation from August 2019 concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway, which required a minimum 100 watts of illumination from sunset to sunrise. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic infrastructure systems, notably heating, which continues to be a recurring issue as of 2024.

The outstanding violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, while administrative in nature, indicate potential lapses in compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The 2019 exterior lighting violation, though no longer active, points to previous concerns about building safety and accessibility during nighttime hours. While some heating problems have been resolved promptly (as shown by the quick response times from HPD), the pattern of complaints suggests this remains an ongoing concern within the building.
