1324 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1324 53rd Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Borough Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Paul Lowinger. The building has recently experienced several concerning issues, particularly in December 2023, when violations were documented for both mold (classified as an unsanitary condition) and lighting problems, though specific resolution details were provided only for the mold issue.

The property has also faced significant safety concerns in August 2023, with issues related to both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in this instance. Multiple maintenance requests were filed and addressed between August and December 2023, including various paint/plaster work, appliance issues, and a notable water leak with heavy flow, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being issued.

The building currently has several open violations as of April 2024, all pertaining to Apartment 2: these include defects in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (both classified as Grade B violations), broken plaster surfaces and paint issues in the bathroom (Class C violation), and a noted roach infestation throughout the apartment (Class B violation). While the building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with zero reported infestations in the most recent filing period (2022-2023), it is worth noting that multiple annual bedbug report violations were recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with filing requirements during those periods. The property's maintenance history shows regular monitoring of issues, but the recent pattern of open violations and unsanitary conditions raises significant concerns about current living conditions.
