1316 East 53rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The building at 1316 East 53rd Street in Flatlands is a 2-story, 3-unit residential property built in 1935, currently owned by Israt Islam and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A." Recent records from early 2025 indicate persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control and building upkeep. The property has experienced multiple complaints and violations from January to March 2025, including unsanitary conditions related to pests (with violations issued in March), wall paint and plaster issues, and a concerning incident of inadequate heat/hot water in January where HPD was unable to conduct an inspection due to lack of access.

Historical records show the building failed an HPD compliance inspection in April 2025 but passed a subsequent rodent inspection in late April. While the building had several violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2022, and 2023, recent filings from 2022 to 2025 indicate no reported bedbug infestations or re-infestations in any of the dwelling units over the past four reporting periods, suggesting improved management of this particular issue. The property has experienced recurring issues with access for inspections, as evidenced by HPD's inability to complete inspections in response to complaints about both heating and pest conditions in January and February 2025, respectively.

The pattern of service requests indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of wall damage and pest-related problems during the winter and early spring of 2025. While the building has shown some improvement in bedbug management based on recent reporting periods showing zero infested units, the persistent nature of the recent complaints and violations suggests that some maintenance issues may require closer attention. The most recent regulatory compliance result from April 2025 indicates an initial failure for unspecified reasons, though this does not necessarily reflect current conditions given the subsequent passing inspection in late April.
