60 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

This four-story, 10-unit residential building at 60 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, owned by Leo Hasenstab, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent and significant problem being a mold issue reported in May 2025 that resulted in HPD violations. The building has a notable pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks documented between 2023 and 2024, including both heavy flow and slow leaks, though not all resulted in violations. Mold has been a persistent concern, with emergency complaints filed in 2021, 2024, and 2025, some of which were not inspected due to access issues.

Asbestos-related complaints were investigated in both 2024 and 2021, with 2024 showing no violations, though there was difficulty in scheduling inspections. The building's maintenance record shows some positive aspects, including successful completion of annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, with no reports of infestation during these periods. While there were violations noted for failure to file bedbug reports in 2021 and 2023, these appear to have been resolved as subsequent filings show zero infested units. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control regulations, with a pass noted in a 2013 compliance inspection following initial rat activity findings earlier that year.

Recent housing maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with moisture control and air quality maintenance, as evidenced by the pattern of mold and water-related complaints and violations. The building's documented history spans 13 years from 2013 to 2025, with most recent concerns focusing on water and air quality issues, particularly in 2024 and 2025. The property maintains active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there have been some administrative oversight issues in previous years. The persistent nature of moisture-related problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
