Augrented Insights Report for 1257 55th Street

1257 55th Street in Borough Park is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement built in 1930 and currently owned by Miriam Landau. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints registered between January and April 2025, though most were resolved quickly through inspections or confirmations of restoration.

There are several active housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025, including issues with fire egress, self-closing doors, and a mouse infestation in Apartment 2 that remains unresolved as of 2024-05-13. The building's fire escape system has also been a subject of concern, with an active ECB violation from 2024-04-17 regarding unauthorized modifications to the 3rd-floor fire escape by installing metal decking. The property has three active DOB violations related to failure to file required inspections between 2018-2023, including low-pressure inspections and boiler certification.

There have been persistent egress-related issues documented through multiple complaints and violations, particularly regarding obstructed fire escapes and doors. The building's maintenance history shows consistent challenges with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by the high volume of related complaints in 2025. While recent bedbug reports (2022-2023) show no infestations, previous rodent inspections in 2015-2018 indicate some past pest management concerns, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2018 showing compliance.
