711 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 711 60th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Wei Chen, was constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2021 when multiple complaints were filed on November 3rd, including concerns about pests, flooring conditions, and safety systems. During this period, there were also electrical problems, including power outages and outlet issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct evaluations.

The third-floor apartment (3F) became a particular focus of attention in 2022, receiving multiple violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and defective self-closing doors, though these violations were certified as corrected by September 2022. More recent history shows a power outage incident in September 2022, and a bedbug reporting violation in March 2022, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 (filed December 2023) showed no infested units. The building underwent a rodent inspection in February 2023, which passed.

As of March 2023, there were two active violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though historical data shows consistent compliance in previous years. The building's electrical issues, particularly the power outages in 2021 and 2022, represent the most significant recurring infrastructure problem, though these incidents appear to have been resolved. While there have been multiple service requests and violations over the years, many of these were resolved through the normal correction processes, and recent inspections have shown improved compliance with safety requirements, particularly in terms of life safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
