1571 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 8-unit, 3-story residential building at 1571 51st Street in Borough Park, owned by Lipa Friedman, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several significant events during its short history. The building underwent its major construction phase in 2018-2019, during which time multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued in December 2019 related to unauthorized work, including the erection of unsupported scaffolding and unauthorized building extensions. These violations carried penalties of $1,250 and $2,500, though both have since been resolved.

There were also two safety-related violations in February 2019 regarding inadequate construction fencing and blocked emergency egress, which were resolved with penalties. The building's post-construction period has been relatively stable, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five filing periods from 2020-2024, indicating good pest management practices. The property has undergone regular compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17, with the most recent inspection in January 2021 finding no violations.

A notable incident occurred in late 2019 involving a stop work order related to construction activity, though this was fully rescinded by October 2020. The building has maintained an active permit history, with multiple permits issued in 2019-2020 for various works, including three electrical permits in September-October 2020. While the building had some initial compliance issues during construction, recent history shows proper adherence to regulations and no recurring safety or maintenance concerns.
