1053 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1053 53rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Danny Rosa, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in October 2024, there was an HPD-verified heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building, resulting in violations that remained open as of the inspection date in November 2024.

The building currently has multiple active violations from November 2024 related to Apartment 2F, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a defective self-closing door, and hot water issues in the kitchen. There are also open violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which have been documented consistently from 2021 through 2024.

The building's mechanical systems have been a particular concern, with active Department of Buildings violations for failing to file required external low pressure and boiler inspection reports in 2018 and 2017 respectively. These violations are still open as of the most recent data. The property, constructed in 1930, has documented multiple safety and maintenance issues over the years, with the most pressing current concerns being related to life safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), security (self-closing doors), and basic services (heat and hot water).
