259 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 259 60th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Han Hui Zhao and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between late 2024 and early 2025, the building faced multiple non-emergency complaints including water leaks, pest infestations, and various maintenance issues such as problems with appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), wall conditions, and cabinetry.

An emergency complaint regarding mold was also recorded during this period. A Department of Buildings inspection in June 2025 revealed a violation concerning the building's egress system, specifically related to locked or blocked exits, which was classified as an oath violation. In late 2024, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and tenant notification requirements, including missing notices about smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, heating system access, and gas leak procedures.

While most of these violations were subsequently closed through certification in early 2025, one Class C violation regarding heating system key access remained open. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bed bug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. A single permit for equiment-related work was issued in March 2019, though no specific details about the work were provided in the available data.
