675 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 675 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xuesu Zhang-gong and constructed in 1922, has experienced significant and concerning activities over recent years, particularly in its cellar level. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple violations related to illegal occupancy and unlicensed commercial activities, with the cellar being operated as unauthorized physical treatment establishments, including a massage parlor and house of prostitution.

These violations led to penalties totaling $12,500, though records indicate they have been resolved. The building has also faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024, though recent reports from 2022-2023 show no confirmed infestations. Elevator safety has been another area of concern, with a noted violation from 2019 regarding an elevator defect and multiple complaints about elevator devices in 2020, though these were ultimately dismissed after compliance was demonstrated in 2024.

The property has a documented history of attempting to address these various compliance issues through permit applications, with records showing multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for different types of work. Recent bedbug report filings from 2022 through 2024 show no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods, suggesting improved pest management practices when compared to earlier years. While several complaints were filed regarding the building's operations and safety in the past, particularly between 2018 and 2023, many of these complaints were either resolved or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection.
