60 Nelson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

60 Nelson Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Red Hook, built in 1920 and owned by Ben Fullergoogins. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly significant problems in late 2024 and early 2025. Most concerning are multiple open violations documented in December 2024, including water leaks, mold issues, and electrical problems in apartments 1R and 2A.

Apartment 1R has documented violations related to water leaks, mold, electrical wiring, and pest infestation (roaches), while apartment 2A shows violations for water leaks, window problems, plumbing issues, flooring concerns, and plaster defects. The building experienced heat and hot water issues in March 2025, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. The property has a troubling pattern of electrical problems, with multiple complaints in both 2024 and 2025, including issues with wiring, outlets, and general lighting.

Water-related issues have also been persistent, with complaints about heavy flow leaks and associated problems occurring throughout 2024 and into 2025. While there have been two rodent inspections in 2018 that passed, the most recent bedbug report from January 2025 indicates no current infestations. The building's management has faced criticism for delayed responses to various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections in late 2024 where access was not granted or conditions could not be properly assessed, though some violations were still issued. The property has an established pattern of issues with basic services, including heating, hot water, and electrical systems, which have required multiple emergency responses from HPD and other agencies.
