Summary · as of November 10, 2026
571 59th Street (Brooklyn, NY 11220; tax lot BBL 3008560047) is a 3-unit walk-up apartment building (building class C0: three-family walk-up), built around 1899, on a 2,003 sq ft lot zoned R6B. City tax records list the owner as LIN, MUCHANG; per ACRIS, a deed to this owner dated February 17, 2022 lists a price of $1,616,000. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,874,000. As of November 10, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show one OATH ticket with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.
