1968 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204
The two-story, four-unit building at 1968 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Barretta, is a 1931 New Law Tenement property that has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years.
In 2020, there was an illegal conversion complaint filed regarding the basement, which was documented to have unauthorized full-height partitions, water, and waste lines for residential fixtures. This resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation that required the owner to obtain proper permits, though the penalty was ultimately resolved with a $500 fine.
The building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, though recent records (2022-2024) indicate no actual infestations occurred during the reporting periods, with the filings showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. It's worth noting that while violations were issued in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, these appear to have been resolved as subsequent reports were submitted properly, showing compliance with the requirement.
