Augrented Insights Report for 1574 56th Street

1574 56th Street is a 39-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922 in Borough Park, currently owned by Mendel Mendlowitz. The property has experienced persistent plumbing and maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heavy water leaks, toilet problems, and door/window maintenance. Recent emergency maintenance requests from June 2025 alone include three instances of water-related issues and one plumbing problem, though many HPD inspection attempts have been met with access challenges.

The building's history shows significant habitation concerns, with multiple rodent sightings reported between April and June 2025, though recent inspections in June 2025 passed. Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024 include problems with safety equipment in apartment D9 (missing CO and smoke detectors) and violations related to apartment B7's plumbing and pest issues, though some older violations from 2024 concerning lobby and hallway maintenance have been resolved. The building has generated various Department of Buildings complaints and violations, including multiple reports of illegal hotel room usage between 2023-2025, work without a permit, and safety concerns regarding blocked fire escapes and propane storage.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 cited improper building maintenance and unauthorized work related to a first-floor daycare conversion. While the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, recent plumbing and maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past five years, with all previous reports showing zero affected units.
