1520 64th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-family tenement at 1520 64th Street in Borough Park, owned by Wentong Liao, has experienced several maintenance issues in 2025, with a particular focus on plumbing and water supply problems. Between January and June 2025, there were four distinct complaints about plumbing issues (three emergency-level and one general), and multiple instances of water supply problems that resulted in HPD being unable to complete inspections. Other recurring issues included unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (two complaints) and pest problems, though HPD found no violations in their inspections.

The building has also faced some electrical concerns, with a wiring issue reported in February 2025, and there was a missing signage violation in February 2025 that required correction. Looking at the building's recent history, there are three consecutive years (2021-2023) where the bedbug report filings showed zero infested units. A boiler inspection complaint from January 2025 was documented, but the inspector was unable to gain access.

On a positive note, a rodent inspection conducted in January 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building's maintenance pattern suggests recurring issues with access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to complete their inspections, particularly during early 2025. The building was built in 1930 and has maintained its original two-story structure. While there are several maintenance issues on record, it's worth noting that many of the HPD inspections conducted in response to complaints did not result in violations being issued, though this may not fully reflect the current state of building conditions given the access issues experienced by inspectors.
