1258 East 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 1258 East 56th Street in Flatlands, currently owned by Syed Haider, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in early 2025. Between January and May 2025, the building was the subject of six complaints addressed by HPD, all of which were marked as "Closed" after inspection attempts.

These complaints included two separate water leak incidents (one involving heavy flow and another a slow leak), a radiator plumbing issue, wall paint/plaster concerns, a damp spot problem, and a door-related complaint. The significant pattern of water-related issues is particularly noteworthy, comprising three of the six complaints, with one classified as an emergency. All the complaints were reported on January 13, 2025, with inspection attempts occurring shortly thereafter, but in each case, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for proper evaluation.

Following the failed inspection attempts, HPD sent letters encouraging residents to schedule a new inspection, though no timely response was received. While the complaints have been officially closed in the system, HPD's records indicate that the proper channels for addressing the identified issues were not fully utilized, and they recommend submitting new service requests through 311 if the conditions persist. This pattern of access issues during inspections raises questions about communication between the residents and HPD regarding these maintenance concerns.
