107 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
107 East 59th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building in East Flatbush, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Shmuol Taub. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints in late 2024 (most recently in December) regarding lack of heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In November 2024, violations were issued related to heating system deficiencies, and there are currently open violations regarding inadequate heat supply in Apartment 3F.
A concerning pattern of conditions has emerged in Apartment 1R, documented in November 2024, including pest infestation (specifically roaches), issues with the bathroom floor and plaster surfaces, defective window, various necessary repairs, and multiple equipment problems including refrigerator and bathroom fixtures. The building's maintenance history reveals significant infrastructure concerns, particularly regarding the boiler system, which was the subject of multiple complaints and violations in 2024. These include active Environmental Control Board violations related to an unpermitted boiler installation and associated safety concerns, with penalties totaling $9,375. Other notable issues documented in 2024 include problems with windows, flooring, and doors.
The property has accumulated several open violations related to failure to maintain building systems properly, particularly concerning the boiler and floor structures, with some classifications indicating potentially serious maintenance deficiencies. Additionally, there are multiple open violations regarding failure to complete required low-pressure boiler inspections from 2018 through 2023, suggesting ongoing regulatory non-compliance regarding boiler safety requirements. Despite these challenges, the property has had some inspections where no violations were found, such as for paint/plaster issues and flooring conditions in July 2024. However, the accumulated pattern of heating system failures, pest infestations, and various infrastructure issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this property, with particular concern for the building's heating system reliability and boiler safety compliance.
