835 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, 1899 brick building at 835 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Zhongqin Zheng, has experienced several noteworthy events between 2020 and 2022, primarily related to construction activities. Most concerning is an unresolved 2020 complaint about construction lead dust entering an apartment, which remains in progress as of now.

In 2022, there was a significant construction-related incident when work was stopped following the withdrawal of the construction superintendent, resulting in a work stoppage order that was only fully rescinded in September 2022. The building faced multiple inspection attempts in 2022 regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone, though access was denied during both attempts. Between 2020 and 2021, there were several construction safety compliance issues, including excessive debris and work being conducted contrary to approved plans.

While numerous immediately hazardous violations were recorded in September 2020, these were subsequently dismissed or resolved by 2022. Three inspection dates in 2020 (January 17 and March 6) found no violations at that time, though multiple violations regarding construction safety compliance and excessive debris were noted. It's worth noting that while many violations were eventually dismissed, the pattern of construction-related complaints and violations spans multiple years, with the most recent unresolved lead dust complaint being particularly concerning for resident safety.
