The 6-story, 156-unit residential building at 1190 East 53rd Street in Flatlands, owned by Anita Zenelaj, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring access issues during HPD inspections, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 regarding flooring, heating, sanitation, and various maintenance issues (including pest infestations) being closed without inspection due to lack of access.
The building has open Class C violations related to cockroach infestation in Apartment 3V and multiple fire escape deficiencies noted in inspections from June 2024, including defective bolts on fire escape treads. The property has a documented history of elevator and building stability concerns, with complaints about single-device elevator service in 2019 and 2022, as well as multiple reports of building shaking in late 2021. Several emergency housing maintenance code complaints were filed in late 2024-early 2025 regarding various maintenance issues, including heating, plumbing, and door problems.
The building's environmental control board violations from 2021-2022 suggest serious safety concerns, including multiple immediately hazardous violations related to scaffolding, safety equipment, and a worker injury incident. The property's maintenance history shows periodic issues with pests, heating, and various building systems, though recent bedbug reports (2023) indicate no current infestations. The building has undergone various permitted work projects in recent years, though some violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations remain active as of 2023-2024.
