253 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This three-story, 6-unit residential building located at 253 60th Street in Sunset Park was constructed in 1910 and is currently owned by Weixi Zhang. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly during 2021, when emergency heat and hot water complaints were filed and subsequently addressed.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in June 2021 in apartment 3R, including defective fire egress features, missing window guards, absent carbon monoxide detectors, and hot water exceeding the maximum allowable temperature of 130°F. Additionally, there were multiple violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though subsequent inspections (most recently in March 2023) showed this violation as closed. The building has experienced some pest-related issues, with a rat sighting reported in October 2022 (investigated and found to have no violations) and rodent inspections conducted in late 2022 which passed.

However, the property has maintained a clean record in terms of documented bedbug infestations, with all five consecutive annual filings (2019-2024) showing zero infested units. The most recent permit activity occurred in March 2019 for equipment-related work, which was issued and completed. While the building has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, most violations have been addressed and closed through proper channels, and the building has demonstrated ongoing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
