920 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The two-family tenement at 920 59th Street in Borough Park, built in 1920 and currently owned by Youssef Youssef, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with most concerning problems occurring around September 2021. During this period, the building received multiple emergency complaints regarding water leaks (heavy flow), mold, door and window issues (including a door and window frame problems), electrical concerns (including outlet and lighting issues), flooring concerns, and ceiling problems, some of which resulted in violations.
Though some issues were investigated and closed without finding violations, others were documented as having violations that could be researched through HPD's website. The building is currently facing several open violations related to bedbug report filing requirements from 2022-2024, and has outstanding violations from September 2021 including maintenance issues in Apartment 2F - specifically regarding roof leaks affecting ceilings, peeling paint surfaces in various rooms and hallways, and a need for repairs to an electrical outlet cover plate. Additionally, there is an open violation from September 2021 documenting a roach infestation issue in Apartment 2F, which received a class C designation indicating a more severe nature.
The building has a documented history of maintenance issues dating back to at least 2019, when there were violations issued regarding unsanitary conditions (pest-related) involving interior walls. While some service requests from 2021 were addressed and closed, the persistence of certain issues and the open violations as of 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The 2021 violations included requirements for proper repair of various building systems and surfaces, though many complaints were closed without finding violations, indicating that not all reported issues were substantiated through inspection.
