165 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 165 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Maximin Francis, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues since its construction in 2007. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency reported through HPD and 311 services, though these services were restored before the inspection.
The building has been consistently cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, with all violations remaining open as of 2025. Of particular concern is an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from August 2023, with two penalty violations totaling $5,000, related to illegal conversion and unauthorized additional dwelling units beyond those legally permitted by the Certificate of Occupancy.
This violation specifically notes improper use of the cellar space, which was designated for accessory uses only and not for cooking, sleeping, or living purposes. The building's recent history suggests ongoing concerns with both basic services and compliance with housing regulations, particularly regarding unit configuration and maintenance requirements.
