51 Ten Eyck Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
51 Ten Eyck Street is a 6-unit, 3-story old-law tenement building constructed in 1920 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Jacob Rubin. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns including an emergency heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 that was investigated but found not to violate HPD housing laws, and a garbage/recycling storage issue in February 2025. The property has a notable history of unauthorized alterations and safety concerns, particularly involving apartment 1L and cellar modifications.
Current open violations from May 2024 indicate ongoing issues with unauthorized room use and plumbing connections in unit 1L, with previous similar violations in 2023 and 2022. The building's rear wall has been a persistent concern, with multiple violations documented between 2021-2022 regarding structural issues, water damage, and compromised fire escape functionality, resulting in work orders requiring shoring and bracing under direct supervision. The building has undergone several inspections for various health and safety concerns, including multiple rodent sightings (most recently in September 2024, which passed inspection), and two mold violations in 2020.
Emergency safety inspections in March 2022 revealed various concerns including door security and fire safety systems, though these violations were ultimately closed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no infestations reported during the past five reporting periods. While many previous violations have been resolved, the building still requires attention to structural integrity, unauthorized modifications, and timely response to maintenance requests, as evidenced by recent complaints about heat/hot water and garbage storage. The building's record shows a pattern of inspectors being unable to gain access during multiple violation investigations, particularly regarding illegal conversion complaints between 2022-2025, which may indicate ongoing difficulties with building access for regulatory inspections.
