Augrented Insights Report for 740 59th Street

740 59th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park and built in 1916, currently owned by Zeng Liu. Between April 29 and May 4, 2025, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD inspection, including problems with doors, electric outlets, plumbing fixtures, flooring, and pests, with violations issued for the pest problems and a general repair matter.

The building has had documented safety and maintenance concerns over the past year, including several Electrical Control Board (ECB) violations from January 2024 totaling over $20,000 in fines related to electrical work, improper cable installations, and an electrical panel installation in the bathroom. Tenant safety inspections in June 2024 resulted in multiple Oath Violations being served, and there are three active ECB violations from June 2024 regarding failure to comply with previous orders. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring government intervention, though bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show zero infested units.

The property has experienced various infrastructure challenges, including a confirmed rodent presence in January 2024 (following a passed inspection in March 2024), and at least one building safety violation remains open as of 2025 regarding a door latch mechanism. The building's violations and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems and preservation requirements, while recent pest control records indicate successful management of bedbug issues. An active violation regarding an improperly installed electrical panel and various other electrical issues suggest ongoing concerns with building safety systems, while multiple emergency complaints in 2025 indicate continued resident concerns about building conditions.
