53rd Street is a local station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at 53rd Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
This station was overhauled in the late 1970s. The Transit Authority repaired the station's structure and appearance. It replaces the original wall tiles, old signs, and incandescent lighting to the 70's modern look wall tiles, signs and fluorescent lights. It also fixed staircases and platform edges.
