57 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 57 Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Gary Golding, presents several concerning maintenance issues as of July 2025. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from 2024, including issues with plaster surfaces and paint defects in Apartment 2B, infestation concerns in Apartment 2A, and hazardous conditions involving defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead.

The building has experienced recurrent heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2023, and a similar issue documented in January 2022, though no violations were issued during inspections. A string of water-related problems was reported in April 2023, including heavy flow leaks affecting multiple areas, and various electrical issues were documented, though most inspections resulted in no violations being recorded. The building's maintenance history also shows some historical rodent activity, with initial inspections in 2017 and 2018 revealing rat presence, though subsequent inspections passed compliance requirements.

However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and the building maintained a "No Infestation" status in its most recent bedbug filings through 2025. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, particularly regarding water systems and interior finishes, the lack of recent infestation reports is a positive note. The recurring nature of heating system complaints and the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and building safety.
