466 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 466 58th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jin Song Cao, is an 1895 structure that has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, multiple violations were recorded regarding illegal work on the landmark building, including unpermitted window modifications and safety concerns, with active penalties totaling $5,000.

The building's compliance history also shows concerns about exhaust discharge positioning that violated building codes, though this particular violation has a lesser penalty of $1,250. The property has a documented history of recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding a range of problems including heat and hot water outages, electrical issues (power outages and outlet problems), and unsanitary conditions including mold.

Many of these complaints, while categorized as emergencies, were closed without inspections due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access to the apartments. Most recently, in December 2023, a rodent sighting was reported and resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections, though a later inspection in April 2024 did pass compliance checks. The building's illegal work and safety violations in 2024, particularly those related to unauthorized window modifications and worker safety, represent the most pressing current concerns, while the earlier maintenance issues from 2018 demonstrate a pattern of access-related inspection challenges that may affect residents' ability to have issues properly addressed.
