944 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

944 54th Street in Borough Park is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Wujin Sun. The building's most pressing current issues, as of August 2025, include open violations for missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 1F, as well as locked access issues with the heating system's door in the boiler room. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in late 2020 when multiple violations were recorded across various categories including mold, safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), flooring, and general maintenance issues.

A more recent heat and hot water complaint from August 2024 resulted in inspections and violations, indicating ongoing concerns with building systems. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements between 2020 and 2024, with no active infestations reported in 2022-2023 and previous treatments noted in 2019-2020 when all 6 units were treated. Historical violations from 2021 include various safety and security issues in apartment 1R1STF, which were subsequently addressed, including door self-closing mechanisms, fireproof door requirements, and peep hole installation.

The Department of Buildings has one complaint on record from late 2019 regarding access issues during inspection. The property's record shows a pattern of maintenance and safety-related violations, particularly regarding building systems and safety equipment, with the most recent violations suggesting ongoing challenges with heat and hot water provision. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug treatment programs in recent years, the current open violations related to safety devices and building access raise concerns about maintenance response times and system reliability.
