1170 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1170 57th Street in Borough Park, owned by Frank Katz, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are three open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, dating from 2021 to 2024, which could suggest ongoing pest management concerns despite previous inspection records showing eradication efforts.

The building has documented multiple instances of unsanitary conditions, with several complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage problems in 2022 and a pest-related complaint in 2020, though inspections were unable to be conducted in these cases. Residents have faced various maintenance challenges, including two separate heat/hot water complaints (one in 2021 and one in 2022, with the latter being an emergency situation), issues with a cooking gas problem in 2022, and electrical concerns including a power outage and outlet issues in 2021, though inspections of the electrical problems did not result in any violations.

The property has an illegal conversion complaint from 2022 that could not be investigated due to lack of access. While some maintenance issues appear to have been resolved, as indicated by closed complaint statuses, the persistent nature of some problems, particularly the bedbug reporting violations and the inability to gain access for inspections on multiple occasions, is noteworthy. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of housing code violations and complaints that have required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with the most recent activity focusing on bedbug reporting compliance.
