1620 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The four-unit, two-story residential building at 1620 66th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Steven Pinello, has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations over the past several years, most notably concerning bedbug reporting requirements. The property, classified as a New Law Tenement and built in 1931, has received four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.

These violations represent a continuing pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements specific to pest management documentation. Additionally, there was an investigation into potential illegal conversion of the property reported in August 2023, though this complaint was marked as closed by the Department of Buildings because the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt at inspection.

While this particular complaint was closed without confirmation of any violations, it suggests there may have been concerns about the building's unit configuration or occupancy arrangement, though these concerns could not be substantiated due to lack of access during inspection. The building's documented history shows persistent issues with compliance to basic housing maintenance standards, particularly regarding pest management reporting requirements.
