591 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

591 Midwood Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, currently owned by Gloria Mckoy and constructed in 1940. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed between November and December 2019. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued, and the problems were reportedly resolved.

More recently, in 2024-2023, the building has two open violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, continuing a pattern from 2022 and 2021. The building has several persistent maintenance issues documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1. These include an ongoing mouse infestation, problems with self-closing doors, and multiple safety concerns such as missing guard rails at the front stairs, inadequate exterior lighting, and an unauthorized double-cylinder lock installation at the building entrance.

In addition, there are interior maintenance issues such as peeling paint in multiple rooms of Apartment 1 documented in 2018. While some violations date back several years, including from 2018, they remain open as of April 2024. The building's history suggests ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding maintenance compliance and timely resolution of tenant concerns.
