850 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
850 56th Street in Borough Park is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Gregory Erickson. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being four open violations from 2018-2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, which fall under Class A violations.
Safety concerns from 2018 included an issue with a missing carbon monoxide detector in the first-floor apartment and an illegally installed double-cylinder lock on the front entrance security door, both of which are Class B and C violations respectively. The property has a documented history of plumbing problems, particularly in July 2022 when multiple emergency and non-emergency toilet-related complaints were made and subsequently resolved within two days.
Earlier issues from 2021 included unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests, as well as a power outage, though these complaints were also closed without violations being issued. The building underwent inspections in 2023 and 2024, with both inspections resulting in open violations regarding bedbug report compliance. Previous health concerns from 2018 included complaints about dust from construction and asbestos, though these were handled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
