1554 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1554 68th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Win Ho Realty, was constructed in 1910 and currently holds a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation. The property experienced a notable cluster of violations following a June 2024 HPD inspection, which issued multiple violations related to building maintenance and safety.

These violations included defective self-closing doors, both at the main entrance and vestibule, the presence of household articles obstructing hallways on multiple floors, and various other code infractions including the need for proper notices regarding gas leaks and housing information guides. Notably, the inspection revealed a pest infestation issue that triggered both 311 complaints and housing maintenance code complaints, with a violation specifically citing a rodent problem in the rear yard area. The building's recent history shows consistent monitoring and reporting of unit conditions, with bedbug inspections conducted annually since 2019 showing no infestation cases in any of the reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

While the building maintained a record of no bedbug incidents, the recent sanitary concerns in 2024 suggest emerging maintenance challenges. The majority of the violations identified in the 2024 inspection were subsequently certified as closed by July 10, 2024, indicating that the property management took steps to address the cited issues, though the most recent violation related to rodent infestation in the yard appears to be notably concerning given its classification as a Class C violation. The building's age and recent cluster of violations suggest ongoing maintenance oversight will be necessary to maintain acceptable living conditions.
