2049 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 2049 60th Street in Borough Park, owned by Jie Ming Hu, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, two serious complaints were filed and subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) related to unsanitary conditions and water leaks, with violations issued.

A subsequent April 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 2F, including safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective self-closing doors, and significant maintenance issues involving water leaks, plaster surfaces, and mold conditions. These violations also documented approximately 16 square feet of visible mold in the bathroom and 10 square feet of mold on the east wall in another room. The building's violation history shows recurring issues with mold and water problems, including a documented sewage odor complaint in 2021.

While there have been two recent annual bedbug reports filed (for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022), both indicated zero infested units and no eradication or re-infestation issues. However, there are currently two open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to bedbug reporting that remain unresolved, suggesting potential administrative non-compliance with HPD requirements. The combination of recent moisture-related problems, safety equipment deficiencies, and ongoing violations related to building maintenance and reporting requirements indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance and regulatory non-compliance that has persisted through 2025.
