2024 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

2024 68th Street is a 34-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and built in 1928, currently owned by Dimitra Vasilakos. The building has experienced several recurring heating and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple 311 complaints (at least 10 in January alone) about building-wide heat and hot water problems, though most were duplicates of earlier complaints.

HPD conducted investigations and confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored in some instances, while others remained open for verification. The building has had safety concerns regarding self-closing doors, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2022 and 2024, particularly affecting entrance doors and public hall doors on the first story, though most of these violations have been marked as closed. An open violation from January 2024 remains active regarding door issues, while a December 2022 Dept of Buildings violation is currently active concerning the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with regulations, with no reported infestations or eradication cases in any of the annual filing periods from 2021 to 2025. Previous violations related to bedbug reporting in 2022 and 2023 were marked as closed, and the building's management has maintained a record of zero infested units in recent years. While the heating issues in early 2025 represent a significant resident concern, the building has otherwise demonstrated reasonable maintenance of safety standards, with most historical violations being addressed and closed in a timely manner.
