1521 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The three-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 1521 66th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Vincent Agostino and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly focusing on the ground floor apartment (1FL). Between September 2023 and October 2023, multiple emergencies and non-emergency complaints were reported and closed, including issues with plumbing (bathtub/shower, basin/sink, and water supply), electrical problems (no lighting), and various maintenance concerns such as unsanitary conditions with pests, and paint/plaster defects.
Most notably, a comprehensive inspection on October 2, 2023, revealed multiple open violations in apartment 1FL related to safety systems and general maintenance, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, plaster and paint problems, and electrical issues. The building's more recent history includes a 311 service request in May 2024 regarding bathtub/shower plumbing issues that required inspection but could not be accessed, and a 2022 rodent-related complaint that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene but resulted in no violations.
While the property has maintained a record of filing bedbug reports showing no infestations in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, the cumulative pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in the most recently available data from 2023-2024, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and unit conditions that may affect resident comfort and safety. The property has both open and closed violations on record, with the most critical focusing on safety equipment (smoke and CO detectors), water damage, electrical systems, and general maintenance needs in the first-floor apartment.
