320 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This two-story residential building at 320 East 56th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Md Abour Razzak, was constructed in 2007 and contains two units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year, with the most recent complaints in early 2025 involving pests, window frame problems, and wall issues, all of which resulted in HPD violations. In October 2024, the building faced multiple emergency situations, including heat/hot water problems, electrical outages, and water supply issues, though inspections found no code violations related to these complaints.

The 3rd floor apartment currently has open violations from October 2024 regarding bathroom floor tiles, mold conditions, kitchen cabinet issues, and several other maintenance needs, including problems with smoke detectors, window guards, and various repairs to walls and fixtures. The building's history includes a notable pattern of maintenance issues in 2024, particularly in the areas of plumbing, electrical systems, and water supply. Three separate complaints about pests were filed and addressed during 2024-2025.

The property had some construction-related concerns in 2022-2024, with multiple complaints about work without permits, though inspections did not find violations in most cases. An active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2022 remains regarding unauthorized construction of a garage structure. Despite these issues, the building has passed rodent inspections, most recently in March 2020, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past year (2023-2024). While some violations from 2024 have been resolved through proper certifications, including lighting, sprinklers, and smoke detector repairs completed in December 2024, several important maintenance issues remain open as of July 2025.
