410 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story Class A building at 410 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Rymal Rouse and built in 1940, is currently facing several ongoing maintenance issues as of December 2024. Most notably, there are open violations relating to a bathtub surface repair and a missing marble saddle in the Garden apartment, as well as extremely high water temperature concerns affecting all hot water fixtures in that unit. The building has a concerning history of maintenance issues, including multiple plumbing problems, pest infestations, and electrical outages throughout 2024.

Recent 311 service requests from December 2024 were generated for plumbing and wall issues, though no violations were initially issued, while October 2024 complaints concerning unsanitary conditions, flooring issues, and plumbing problems could not be properly inspected due to access issues. Looking back at the building's history, there are recurring themes of maintenance challenges. In 2021, Apartment 1 had notable issues including visible mold in both the hallway and bathroom ceilings, inadequate gas supply to fixtures, and a bedbug reporting violation.

The building experienced power outages in May and June 2024, though no violations were issued following inspections. Multiple 311 service requests in 2024 have been closed without violations, though there are currently open violations from December 2024 that require attention, including extremely hot water temperatures measured at 192°F in the kitchen sink and various other maintenance concerns. The property has also faced challenges with timely inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances in 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their evaluations.
