540A Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
540A Kosciuszko Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Emilio Lopez. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in both October 2024 and October 2023, though in both instances, tenants reported that the problems were resolved before inspection. The building has faced persistent rodent management challenges, with multiple baiting and compliance inspections throughout 2024-2025 showing regular rat activity, most recently in December 2024 and through several inspections in 2025.
The building's maintenance history reveals several clusters of issues requiring attention. In late 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical problems, including no lighting and outlet issues, as well as flooring and wall concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. There are notable active violations regarding fire safety, specifically concerning defective self-closing doors at the 1st-story vestibule, and two open violations from August 2021 regarding lock installations on fire escape windows in apartments 3A and 3B.
While the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infested units reported in recent filings, there is an ongoing concern with the building's boiler maintenance. Multiple active violations (dating back to 2023) indicate failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with an associated penalty of $655. The property has also received inspection citations for various deficiencies, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and safety concerns that, while addressed, reflect the building's need for regular maintenance oversight.
