1745 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 1745 61st Street in Boro Park, owned by Meiyu Xie, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are two open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, and multiple open violations from May 2022, including safety concerns regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and first-story vestibule, as well as various administrative compliance issues such as missing safety notices and inspection certificates.

These 2022 violations also included a mold issue in the cellar rear that was upgraded to Class B status, indicating a potentially more serious concern. The building underwent some work between 2019 and 2020, as evidenced by the issuance of two exterior work permits, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records.

The property's pest management history shows some positive developments: while there was a bedbug infestation period from late 2020 through 2021 affecting four units (with none currently infested as of the last report), rodent inspections in 2015 show passing and failing results, though these issues appear to be from some time ago. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and the number of open violations across different time periods suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, with particular attention needed to the building's safety systems and reporting requirements. The most recent violations, including the bedbug reporting non-compliance, indicate these issues continue to be problematic as of 2025.
