50 Plaza St East, Brooklyn, NY 11238
50 Plaza Street East is a 49-unit, 12-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Mark Levine. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern regarding rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple complaints and failed inspections in 2023 and 2025. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented rat sightings in 2023, and follow-up inspections revealed violations related to pest control.
The building has also faced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though recent filings from 2024 show no reported infestations. The property has been involved in numerous scaffolding and construction-related complaints between 2019 and 2025, with multiple violations concerning sidewalk shed and scaffolding conditions. In September 2022, the building received two ECB violations related to excessive construction debris and improper hoist installation, each carrying a $1,250 penalty. Other notable issues include safety concerns regarding fire escape access and temporary construction equipment in 2018-2019, though these violations have since been resolved.
The building's elevator system has also had documented issues, with violations recorded in 2019 related to failure to correct defects, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows regular permit filings for various work types, including plumbing, electrical, and equipment-related permits, though specific details about the nature of this work are not provided in the available data. Recent dot inspections show a mixed record, with both passed and failed inspections related to rodent activity, indicating ongoing challenges with pest control in the building. Despite these issues, the property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations in the last three filing periods.
