559 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 559 59th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xiangzhu Zheng, has a recorded history from 2018 that raises some concerns about the building's maintenance and conditions. In July 2018, multiple rodent-related complaints were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, indicating conditions that potentially attracted rodents; however, an initial inspection conducted on August 17, 2018, reportedly passed.

The building experienced sanitation-related issues later that August, with complaints regarding garbage and recycling storage drawing the attention of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found upon inspection. Concurrently, there were two complaints about potential illegal conversions of the property, filed in August 2018 with the Department of Buildings.

One of these complaints resulted in a second inspection attempt where access was denied, while the other was ultimately deemed unsubstantiated based on department records. It's noteworthy that all these incidents occurred during the summer of 2018, with no recorded complaints or violations in the subsequent years leading up to 2025, suggesting either improved conditions or reduced reporting activity.
