769 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The six-story, seven-unit residential building at 769 57th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Qingxiang Wang, has experienced several concerning events since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of food poisoning complaints, with four incidents reported between 2022 and 2025, including two consecutive complaints in June 2025.

The building has also accumulated multiple open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. Additionally, there have been several incidents involving smoking violations in 2019 and 2020, though these were ultimately addressed. The Department of Buildings has had limited interaction with the property, with one investigation into illegal hotel rooms in 2023-2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and a previously resolved violation from 2018 that was dismissed following correction of defects.

A permit for alteration work was issued in late 2018. While the building is relatively new, the persistent nature of food safety issues and bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The most recent health department investigations in 2025 found the food poisoning incidents to be isolated cases, with normal inspection procedures to follow.
