590 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 590 Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Glyne Hurley, has demonstrated persistent maintenance issues and safety concerns since at least 2019. The building, constructed in 1931 and classified as a "NEW LAW TENEMENT," has multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, as well as an active ECB violation from 2020 related to a deteriorating third-floor window and roof parapet condition (penalty: $3,125).

Recent HPD complaints and violations between January and May 2025 indicate ongoing problems with unsanitary conditions (mold), ceiling damage, electrical issues, and multiple plumbing concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 2. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues affecting multiple units, and there are documented problems with water leaks, toilet functionality, and ceiling plaster/paint conditions. The property's maintenance history shows regular inspections and violation issuance for various infractions, including rodent activity noted in a December 2023 inspection.

Structural concerns have been raised in the past, with complaints of building shaking or vibrating in 2020 and 2021, though access was not granted for inspection in 2021. Multiple violations exist regarding safety requirements, including issues with exposed electrical wiring and broken concrete floors, though many past violations have been closed following repairs. The building's documented issues suggest ongoing challenges with moisture control, structural maintenance, and basic service provision, requiring regular tenant complaints and governmental intervention to address persistent habitability concerns.
