Augrented Insights Report for 1015 56th Street

The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1015 56th Street in Borough Park, owned by Harriet Engel and built in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the multiple emergency electrical and mold-related complaints in June 2024, along with ongoing concerns about ceiling maintenance. The building has shown persistent maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints between 2023-2024, including pest infestations, plumbing issues, and problems with doors and windows.

Significant building-wide issues were documented in 2019-2020, including structural concerns with roof parapets, water damage affecting multiple floors, and problems with exit passageway obstructions. Compliance issues were also noted, with multiple violations for failure to maintain building systems and provide unobstructed egress pathways, though many of these violations have since been resolved. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations and successfully passed rodent inspections in 2023, though there have been ongoing issues with building maintenance.

Recent inspections in 2024 revealed open violations related to refuse accumulation and self-closing doors on the 4th story. The building has shown some history of structural concerns, with complaints about shaking and vibration recorded in 2019, and a notable violation regarding compromised fire escape egress in 2024. While many historical violations regarding maintenance and compliance have been resolved or dismissed, the building continues to face recurring issues with electrical systems, water fixtures, and building envelope maintenance, as evidenced by recent 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.
