1726 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1726 66th Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst, built in 1927 and currently owned by Qamiran Qoku. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system failures, with seven recorded complaints between late 2024 and 2025, all of which were classified as emergencies and subsequently closed, often following tenant-reported restorations of service. A notable pattern of issues emerged in early 2025, including a heavy water leak that was investigated by HPD, though no housing law violations were found.

In terms of safety and maintenance, the building has received several violations requiring attention, including lead paint hazards identified in apartment C4 during a July 2023 inspection, though some violations from 2024 related to door issues and encumbrances in public halls have been closed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024). Additional historical context reveals ongoing maintenance engagement, with multiple permits issued between 2018-2020 for various work, including plumbing and electrical maintenance.

The building experienced some construction oversight issues in 2020, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation related to security camera wiring on the fire escape, though this violation is currently listed as active with a penalty. Recent building systems have shown some system stability, though the heating and hot water systems continue to be a frequent source of tenant complaints. The building has demonstrated responsiveness to emergent issues, with most complaints being addressed promptly through HPD investigations, even when access to units for inspection was limited.
