1966 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1966 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Jack Brill and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are currently open violations from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which carries an "A" classification indicating greater severity.

There are also multiple open violations from May 2023 related to building maintenance and safety requirements, including issues with exterior cement mortar joints, fire-retardant plaster, and paint conditions on both the first and second story public hall areas. These May 2023 violations, classified as "A" and "B", encompass various maintenance requirements such as repairing defective materials, repainting with appropriate colors, and properly maintaining safety-related signage.

The building's documented history includes a 311 service request in April 2023 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but ultimately resulted in no violations being issued. From a pest management perspective, the building filed a bedbug report in March 2023 indicating no infestation during the reporting period of November 2021 to October 2022, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. While the building has maintained some level of compliance with immediate health and safety reporting requirements, the pattern of open violations related to building maintenance and safety protocols, particularly the bedbug reporting failure, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining proper building standards as of this date in July 2025.
