997 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 997 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Amelia Dixon, was constructed in 1960 and has been classified as a converted Class A building. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns in 2025 involving unsanitary conditions (pests) and heat/hot water problems, both of which were investigated by HPD.

A significant cluster of complaints was documented in late 2024, including issues with doors, windows, electricity, and heat/hot water systems, though many of these inspections resulted in no observed violations. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring challenges with both structural elements and basic services, particularly in the first-floor apartment (1FL).

Notable violations from December 2024 included defective doors, broken light fixtures, and window problems in Apartment 1FL, while earlier issues from 2019 involved water leaks, mouse infestation, and various repair needs in the same apartment. The property has consistently demonstrated proactive bedbug management, with all recent annual reports (from 2019 through 2025) showing zero infestation cases or need for eradication services, and all bedbug violations from 2022-2023 were certified as corrected. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, many complaints have been resolved through inspections that found no violations or through prompt repairs by the owner, though the lack of access during some inspections in 2025 was noted.
