54 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
54 South Elliott Place is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building located in Fort Greene, built in 1930 and currently owned by Dennis Canning. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in November 2023 and June 2023 regarding the entire building experiencing these services' failure. Previous infrastructure maintenance concerns have been documented, including multiple complaints in August 2020 about electrical wiring, wall conditions, and cabinet issues, though HPD was unable to access units for inspection at that time.
More recent building violations include failures to submit annual bedbug reports (2022, 2023, 2024) and a serious fire escape safety issue was documented and corrected in 2023, where the 4th tread from top to bottom on the building front fire escape required replacement. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to health and safety regulations, with violations being addressed when inspections occur. For instance, a carbon monoxide detector violation from November 2019 was closed after verification of correction.
The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with reports from 2020-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. However, there are several active violations as of 2024, including multiple failures to file external low pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2023, the most recent being issued in September 2024. The building has also undergone regular inspections for various maintenance requirements, with most violations being promptly addressed and closed through proper certification.
