1536 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
1536 51st Street is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Moshe Landau. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2023-2024. Notable problems included multiple plumbing issues in late 2023 (water supply and bathtub/shower problems), a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, and various building maintenance concerns in July 2023 including electrical issues, water leaks, and problems with paint and plaster.
The building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in September 2024, including issues with garbage storage, water supply systems, and safety concerns related to the fire escape. These violations generally required the owner to address conditions such as painting requirements in public areas, maintaining clean conditions in cellar areas, and posting proper notifications regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements. The property has shown consistent attention to pest control, with no recorded bedbug infestations over the past five years (2020-2024), and while there were rodent activity reports in 2009, a subsequent inspection that same year showed compliance.
Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 did not find any violations warranting further action. The building's violation history shows several resolved violations from 2019-2021, which were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years, most complaints have been addressed and closed through appropriate inspections and violations processes.
