54 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-family house at 54 Crescent Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Mohammad Tutul, is a two-story building constructed in 1901. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, most notably a significant cluster of violations recorded in April 2020 that remain open as of October 2023.

These violations, all related to the second-floor apartment (2FL), include multiple problems with water leaks affecting ceilings in two separate rooms, defective plaster and paint surfaces in various rooms, and several safety concerns such as non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors and a broken electrical light switch in the private hallway. The building's roof issues appear to have impacted multiple rooms within the apartment.

Prior to the 2020 violations, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, with mixed results - passing in March 2012 and June 2013, but failing a compliance inspection in May 2013 for unspecified reasons. The property experienced two 311 service complaints in April 2020, one regarding a slow water leak that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and another related to ceiling problems that did result in violations. While the building has maintained basic compliance with most housing maintenance codes, the persistence of these open violations regarding water damage, safety features, and general maintenance suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have affected resident comfort and safety, particularly in the second-floor apartment.
