2057 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 2057 Union Street in Brownsville, owned by Winston Lander and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Of particular concern are multiple water-related problems in early 2022, including complaints of heavy flow and damp spots, as well as mold-related issues, for which violations were issued. More recently, there has been an ongoing rodent issue, with inspections in 2024 revealing rat activity and the application of bait.

The building experienced recurring heat and hot water problems in February 2021, though these were reportedly resolved with tenant notification. Multiple violations were documented in 2022 pertaining to apartment 2R, including issues with window guards, plumbing fixtures, bathroom tiles, and safety devices, though some of these were subsequently closed. The building was inspected regarding illegal conversion in May 2022, but no violations were found. There is currently an open violation from 2023 and 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, which remains unresolved as of the latest available data.

The property has undergone several inspections and service requests related to its maintenance and safety features. In March 2022, multiple non-emergency issues were documented, including problems with walls, flooring, and smoke detectors, alongside emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and safety concerns. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address the recurring issues with water damage, rodent activity, and safety compliance matters. The most recent records indicate continued concerns with pest management and the need for proper documentation of bedbug monitoring, while previous utility issues suggest potential infrastructure concerns that may require monitoring.
