417 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 417 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xiumin Zhang, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2020. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water problems, with complaints filed in November 2022, November 2021, and several times in late 2020. The most recent inspection in August 2023 revealed a violation regarding water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in the basement bathroom.

The building's basement apartment has faced various challenges, including mold issues, water leaks, and pest infestations, as evidenced by violation notices from November 2021. The property has a documented history of accessibility issues for inspectors, with multiple complaints in 2020-2021 regarding lack of access to investigate reported problems. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in November 2021, affecting the basement apartment and addressing concerns such as mold, water leaks, unsafe electrical wiring, and window damage. Two illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2019 and 2021, both of which resulted in inspections showing no violations at the time.

The building, constructed in 1896, has maintained its original two-story structure, though it has faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Historical records indicate the property has addressed multiple housing maintenance code violations, with various issues being certified as corrected, including mold remediation and temperature control improvements. The property has a consistent pattern of heating and maintenance-related complaints, with particular emphasis on the basement unit's living conditions, including various emergency and non-emergency issues between 2020 and 2022. While many violations have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heating system problems and various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
