962 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 962 54th Street in Borough Park, owned by Danny Cheung, has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in February 2024 and January 2024 indicating building-wide heat and hot water problems that resulted in violations. The building has a documented pattern of heating system failures, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2020 and 2024, though some complaints were closed without violations after inspections found heat was operational.

Two significant inspections in 2024 revealed several open violations, including problems with building access to the heating system, encumbrances in public areas, and an inadequate supply of heat to apartment 3F. The property also faced sanitary challenges in 2020, with multiple complaints regarding pests and garbage storage issues, though rodent inspections from 2018 to 2021 showed passing results.

The building's maintenance history includes various safety-related violations, such as obstructions to fire escapes and issues with a gate lock at the front yard, though these were not necessarily recent concerns. Notably, the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in its official filings between 2019 and 2022, with all reports showing zero infested units. While some violations related to building maintenance and safety requirements have been identified, including improper fire retardant plaster repair and missing smoke detector notices, many of these date back several years, with the most recent violations primarily focusing on the heating system.
