1570 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 16-unit building at 1570 66th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by One Smile LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2024. Notable recent violations include a defective fire escape tread at the 4th story (Class C violation), and multiple safety concerns in apartment 4D during 2024, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, as well as a problematic key-operated lock on the fire escape door. The building has also experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent complaint about a slow leak filed in August 2024 and an earlier instance of excessive hot water temperatures reported in March 2024.

Additional maintenance history shows various types of complaints being addressed, including problems with heating, appliances, and wall conditions, though many of these were closed without violations being issued. The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with 2024 violations noting missing or defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4D. Infrastructure maintenance has been a recurring theme, with multiple complaints regarding plumbing issues, including toilet problems and water leaks.

Periodic inspections have identified various maintenance needs, such as repairs to doors, locks, and fire escape components. On a positive note, the building has maintained a record of being free from bedbug infestations, with all annual filings (2019-2024) showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices. While the building was built in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, the ongoing maintenance issues suggest that regular attention to building systems and prompt response to tenant complaints could be improved, as evidenced by several complaints being closed without proper inspections or resolutions.
