846 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
846 50th Street, a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement built in 1931 and currently owned by Catherine Yu, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, between January and May 2024, there were multiple reports of water-related problems, including water leaks, mold, and ceiling issues, affecting different parts of the building.
These were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some cases resulting in violations, particularly a January 2024 plumbing issue related to water supply. A substantial cluster of emergency maintenance requests was recorded in July 2024, including multiple reports of heat and hot water problems, door issues, and ongoing concerns about water leaks and leaks in the public stair areas, which led to several Housing Maintenance Code violations. The building's property records reveal some other concerning maintenance issues, including a February 2024 violation regarding scalding hot water in Apartment 4A, and a January 2024 violation related to household items obstructing fire escape egress from the 4th-story balcony.
While there have been multiple violations issued in 2024, most have been marked as closed, suggesting they have been addressed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. A 2013 rodent inspection conducted at the property resulted in a "Passed" designation, indicating no rodent problems were found at that time.
