1245 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The six-story, 59-unit residential building at 1245 50th Street in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Schweid and constructed in 1940, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular clusters of problems emerging in 2024 and 2025. Most notably, between January and March 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold and garbage/recycling storage issues) and plumbing problems, though HPD inspectors were generally unable to complete their inspections.
A significant concentration of violations was documented in August 2024, particularly affecting apartment 6F, including issues with caulking in the bathroom, water leaks, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" dating back to 2018, and more recent violations related to door zone restrictors and roller guides. The property has also faced challenges with water-related issues, with documented problems ranging from slow leaks to heavy flow situations between 2023 and 2025.
Three active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 relate to failure to file required energy efficiency documentation, including an energy efficiency score display, external low-pressure inspection, and benchmarking report. While there were ECB violations related to the elevator system in 2018 (regarding safety devices and maintenance), the elevator system continues to generate complaints. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, showing no reported cases in the filings from 2021 and 2024.
