2062 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-family house at 2062 61st Street in Borough Park, built in 1925 and currently owned by Mayer Reinman, has experienced several notable events over the past several years. Most recently, in late 2024, the building received a Stop Work Order related to scaffold safety and unauthorized exterior insulation work, though these violations were subsequently dismissed in December 2024.

The property has a documented pattern of construction-related issues, particularly evident in 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction work and inadequate protection for adjacent buildings. During that period, inspectors were unable to gain access on two occasions to verify compliance, though some permits were eventually issued, including plumbing, electrical, and alteration permits in early 2019. The building's complaint history shows recurring issues with construction oversight, with three separate complaints in July and August 2019 regarding work being conducted beyond approved plans or permits.

Prior to these incidents, there have been various complaints about the building and its surroundings, including a fence complaint in September 2019 that resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. The property has demonstrated some degree of ongoing construction activity or modifications over the years, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances from 2018 through 2019, covering various work types including plumbing, electrical, and alteration work. While the recent violations have been resolved, the history suggests a pattern of construction-related challenges that may impact resident comfort and safety, particularly concerning access for inspections and adherence to approved plans.
