126 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 8-unit, 2-story residential building at 126 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. In 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding water-related problems, including mold and damp spots, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), along with paint/plaster issues in Apartment 1B that resulted in violations. The building also generated concerns about heat and hot water in early 2022, though this issue was resolved quickly.
Of particular note, there was significant construction activity between 2019-2021, during which multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations were recorded regarding safety and housekeeping at a work site for a proposed vertical expansion to a 5-story building. These violations included issues with debris management, missing guardrails, and inadequate job site fencing, though all were ultimately resolved. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with the annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing no infested units, and the most recent filings in December 2024 confirming zero cases of infestation or re-infestation.
The building's management has filed the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation from March 2023 being promptly addressed. Although there were some 311 service requests and inspections conducted in 2022-2023 regarding various maintenance issues, these have either been closed without violation or resolved through inspections. The property has shown some history of addressing violations, as evidenced by the certification of correction for 2022 violations related to paint/plaster and pest issues in Apartment 1B.
