1636 64th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1636 64th Street in Borough Park, currently owned by Rm 1636 LLC, has experienced several significant issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns relating to safety and habitability. The building has had three emergency complaints filed through the 311 system, including a heat and hot water issue in October 2023 (which was reportedly resolved within two days), and more recently, safety and unsanitary condition complaints regarding the fire escape and garbage/recycling storage in November 2024.

These latter complaints were investigated by HPD but did not reveal violations of housing laws. The building underwent inspections in 2023-2024 that identified multiple violations across various categories. Notable findings included a June 2024 violation concerning defective self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule, and a range of tenant safety-related violations documented in October 2023.

These safety violations included requirements for proper carbon monoxide detection notices, gas leak procedures, and building registration information, as well as the need to paint public hall walls and ceilings in light colors. The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with no reported infestations during the past two reporting periods (November 2022 - October 2023 and November 2023 - October 2024), indicating effective pest management practices. While the property has experienced multiple maintenance issues, the majority of violations and service requests have been addressed through inspections or repairs, though some structural and safety-related concerns were noted during the 2023 inspections requiring attention.
