1364 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 70-unit residential building at 1364 51st Street in Borough Park, owned by David Nierenberg, has shown several concerning patterns in maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, there has been a significant number of mold-related complaints, with six emergency mold reports filed between June 2025 and earlier HPD complaints. The building has experienced multiple water-related issues in 2025, including three heavy flow water leak complaints in June 2025.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent complaints about ceiling paint/plaster issues and cabinet problems in June 2025, all of which resulted in HPD being unable to complete inspections. Additional concerns emerged from 2024, including violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detecting devices, and hot water supply issues in Apartment 7G. The building's elevator system has been a recurring subject of complaints, with multiple reports of "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2019-2023, though inspections generally found no violations.

Environmental Control Board records show active violations regarding exterior wall maintenance reporting requirements, with penalties totaling $25,000 from 2020-2022, and a 2022 violation for improper elevator installation. Historical violations from 2019-2020 indicate issues with building occupancy, laundry equipment installations, and emergency lighting systems, though many of these have been resolved or dismissed. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2024. This report is based on inspectionable public records up to October 2023 and does not account for any potential subsequent developments or corrections made after that date.
