1055 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 1055 53rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Mordechai Freund, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most recent inspections in June 2024 revealed multiple open violations, including problems with fire retardant materials in the cellar, a non-compliant acoustic tile ceiling in Apartment 3, and defective self-closing doors in the cellar.
The building has also faced regulatory compliance issues, with multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023-2024 and a 2022 violation related to gas leak safety notification requirements. Significant maintenance concerns are evident from the Department of Buildings (DOB) records, including a July 2023 boiler-related violation that resulted in a $250 penalty, and multiple complaints in 2020 regarding unauthorized work and missing permits, though inspectors were unable to gain access during these inspections. The property has a documented pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, with 2022 and 2024 showing particular attention to building safety requirements and maintenance codes.
The building's age (constructed in 1930) and the nature of its violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with current housing codes. While some violations from 2020-2021 were closed without penalties, the more recent violations indicate continuing regulatory challenges. The most recent inspections suggest persistent issues with common area maintenance and building safety requirements, particularly in the cellar and common areas.
