- Built in 1961 (city records)
About this building
Standing since 1961 inside the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. The building’s floor space is 4.5 times the size of its lot: 34,391 sq ft of building on a 7,600 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 9, 2026.
A difference between the DHCR rent-stabilized count and the PLUTO total is common and does not, on its own, indicate a violation: units can leave rent stabilization legally, the two datasets count units differently, some units may be non-residential, and a registration can be filed incompletely. To check your own apartment, see how to request your rent history from DHCR.

- City records show 22 open HPD violations, 3 immediately hazardous (Class C) under 52 Orange Street — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 1984 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists no rent-stabilized units in this building. If anyone tells you this unit is stabilized, ask to see the registration — and if it was deregulated, ask on what grounds and in what year.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Remove the illegal fastening double cylinder key operated lock entrance door street….
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
54 Orange Street sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11201. The closest subway is Clark St (2,3) (2-minute walk), served by the 2 and 3 lines.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: January 1984 · Most recent: November 2024. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1961. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
