121 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
121 East 54th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, built in 1920 and currently owned by Loretta Gendville. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably during 2023 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed for the first-floor apartment, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues were documented in March 2023 and remain listed as open violations.
The building's boiler system has been a persistent source of problems, with multiple violations recorded in March 2023 related to safety features, maintenance requirements, and improper installations, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent inspection records from 2024-2025 indicate the building underwent significant scrutiny, with the Department of Buildings documenting multiple violations including the removal of a posted vacate order (dated March 2018) in late 2024, resulting in substantial fines totaling $8,750. The property has also faced legal actions regarding illegal conversions, with Oath Violations served in October and December 2024.
On a more positive note, the building's most recent bedbug report (July 2025) indicates no infestations occurred during the 2023-2024 period, maintaining a clean record for two consecutive years (2023-2025). While some violations from 2018-2021 regarding failure to certify corrections were documented, these were ultimately dismissed by the Department of Buildings. The property's current status reveals several open or recently resolved violations, particularly regarding building safety features and systems maintenance, though specific details about their current resolution status are not consistently available in the provided records.
