1776 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 16-unit, 4-story building at 1776 68th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Qui Liu and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding wall conditions, window frames, and a heavy water leak that resulted in issued violations. These complaints were part of a pattern of maintenance issues in the building, including electrical problems (specifically no lighting), unspecified mold issues, and various structural deficiencies.

The building currently has several open violations from October 2023 related to water leaks, door issues, window repairs, and various maintenance concerns in apartment 1C and the public areas, particularly affecting the 2nd story. The property has a somewhat concerning history of structural and safety-related complaints and violations. In 2022, there were complaints about building shaking/vibration and structural stability, though these were ultimately marked as Oath Violation Served.

An active Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 notes issues with the building facade, including cracks and damaged bricks, with a penalty of $6,250 imposed. More recently, in June 2025, there was an Oath Violation related to facade maintenance. The building's maintenance record includes various emergency and non-emergency complaints in late 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. However, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports from 2025 and 2021 indicate zero infested units, and rodent inspections from 2011 resulted in a "Passed" status, though earlier inspections in 2014 had "Failed" results for other reasons.
