134 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

134 East 59th Street is a 3-story, 9-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Shimon Lieberman. The building's recent history (2024-2025) shows recurring maintenance challenges, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in October 2024, though these services were restored during the HPD inspection.

Earlier in 2024, multiple issues were reported and investigated, including mold (unsanitary condition), a slow water leak, and problems with a ceiling that HPD could not access for inspection, though notably no violations were issued for these complaints. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues that date back several years, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower in 2018), heating system concerns, and various interior maintenance needs such as paint/plaster work. Looking at the violation records, there were several significant issues identified in 2018, particularly affecting apartment 2C, including problems with plumbing fixtures, vanity stability, door security, and rodent infestation, all of which were closed after required repairs.

The building's emergency response records show multiple instances of maintenance issues being reported as urgent, including radiator problems in 2021 and plumbing issues in 2018. Importantly, the building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2024), and recent rodent inspections (2018) indicate successful passing status. The property has shown compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with records indicating zero infested units or re-infestations in recent filings, though there were violations related to bedbug reporting requirements noted in 2021 and 2022 inspections that appear to have been subsequently resolved.
