1679 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

At 1679 66th Street in Bensonhurst, this 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Qineng Zheng has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint filed in December 2024. Between November and December 2023, multiple complaints were lodged regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, though no violations were issued upon HPD inspection.

The building has shown some concerning patterns, including multiple issues with windows (frames), plumbing (bathtub/shower), and flooring, all of which were inspected but resulted in no violations. Significant safety-related violations were recorded in 2023 regarding building requirements, including the need to post carbon monoxide and gas leak procedures, though these were certified as corrected by July 2023. Additional violations were noted for various maintenance issues such as a defective self-closing door in apartment 1F and bathroom wall conditions, though many of these were subsequently resolved.

The building underwent inspections in early 2023 that revealed several safety compliance issues, including improper electrical wiring and door safety concerns, all of which were addressed by March 2023. The property has maintained good bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, with no reported infestations, and passed a rodent inspection in June 2019. Two complaints regarding after-hours work and unpermitted work in early 2023 were inspected but found to warrant no violations.
