595 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

595 President Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 595 President Street Realty Corp. The building has experienced several mechanical and maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being multiple active violations related to the failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports from 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

In 2019, there were significant concerns regarding the water heater system, including a defective flue that was reported as half-crushed, though this issue was resolved with a $312 penalty. More recently, in October 2023, there was a documented water leak/DAMP SPOT issue that was subsequently corrected. The building's pest management record shows some positive trends, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filings for 2023-2024 and 2021-2022, though there were four separate bedbug violation notices issued between 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

Rodent-related concerns have been addressed through regular inspections, with the most recent rat sighting complaint in November 2024 resulting in a passed inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has maintained generally good compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the repeated violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements indicate some oversight in this area. Historically, the building has shown commitment to resolving reported issues, as evidenced by the timely closure of most complaints and violation notices, though the current status of multiple active violations regarding external low-pressure inspections since 2018 indicates an ongoing compliance challenge.
