1319 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 10-unit, 6-story residential building at 1319 50th Street in Borough Park, owned by Barry Braunstein and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with elevator safety and functionality. In July 2019, the elevator system was cited for multiple safety concerns including inoperative stop switches and an unsecured temporary platform, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.
An inspection in May 2022 classified the elevator condition as dangerous, though no violation was warranted upon inspection. The building has also faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to fire safety and general maintenance, particularly during inspections in 2023, when multiple issues were documented including defective fire doors, missing cover plates, and illegal roof door lock fastenings. While the building has had these safety and maintenance concerns, it is worth noting that the property has demonstrated proper bedbug management over the past three years, with all recent filings (2022-2024) showing zero infested units.
The building has experienced some administrative violations regarding energy reporting requirements between 2019-2020, though these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 for the period ending October 2024 shows no infestations, continuing a pattern of effective pest management since 2021. The building has shown responsiveness to violations, with most being certified as corrected, though there remains one active violation from September 2019 regarding failure to correct elevator defects noted during a 2017 inspection.
