566A Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

This two-story, four-unit tenement building at 566A Bristol Street in Brownsville, built in 1930 and owned by Indira Baptist, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations from 2019 related to unauthorized electrical work and construction in Apartment #4, with associated penalties totaling approximately $25,500. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, particularly evident in late 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding these systems throughout the building.

Additional maintenance concerns were raised during this period, including unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas, general maintenance issues, and various plumbing problems. The building also currently has an open violation related to bed bug reporting requirements as of April 2024, though records show no infestations were reported for the period ending October 2022. The property has experienced persistent access issues during inspections, with several complaints recorded between 2019-2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access to units, particularly regarding heating system problems and an illegal conversion complaint.

While some violations have been resolved, including multiple 2022 complaints regarding sanitation and signage that were investigated with no violations issued, several significant issues remain open. These include various maintenance violations in Apartment #1F established in late 2022, involving ceiling conditions, window frame repairs, mold concerns, and hot water supply issues. The building's most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a failed status for "Other Reasons," indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The property's history suggests a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, with particular focus needed on the unresolved violations from 2019 regarding unauthorized construction and electrical work.
