101 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 101 East 59th Street property, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920 and owned by Dan Mizrachi, has experienced recurring sanitary maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to garbage and recycling storage. Since March 2025, there have been multiple HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, with one case resulting in violations that required the owner to correct the conditions.

The building has open violations as of June 2025, including issues with garbage storage in the south yard (B violation from August 2024) and multiple violations affecting Apartment 1F, including electrical and plaster issues as well as concerns about carbon monoxide detectors and lead paint (all B violations from June 2024). The building has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, with multiple illegal conversion complaints filed between 2018-2020, though most inspections resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" outcomes. There are active ECB violations as of 2020 regarding unauthorized occupancy and installation of unpermitted fixtures in the cellar area, with penalties amounting to $3,750.

Recent maintenance records show recurring issues with water damage, paint deterioration, and unsanitary conditions, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021, and previous infestations were promptly addressed. The property's environmental control board record indicates ongoing non-compliance issues, including failure to file necessary inspections and respond to prior violations. The building's overall maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with building upkeep and code compliance, particularly in common areas and the first-floor apartment.
