38 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
Situated in East Flatbush, 38 East 56th Street is a two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Pazan Moses. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues, most notably in May 2023 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding various problems, including reports of unsanitary conditions with pests, wall paint/plaster issues, heating and hot water concerns, and refrigerator problems.
While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, no violations were issued in connection with them. More critically, a comprehensive inspection conducted in May 2023 revealed numerous violations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F). These included serious concerns about lead-based paint hazards in multiple locations, deficiencies in window guards, problems with radiator maintenance, and issues with various wall surfaces requiring repair and repainting.
Additional violations noted included non-functioning or defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and the need for the annual bedbug report to be filed, as required by HPD regulations. As of April 2024, these violations remain open and unaddressed, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges for the property. The building's inspection history and current open violations indicate significant and persistent maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, particularly concentrating in the second-floor apartment.
