1221 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1221 60th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Arkon Properties 2013 LLC. The building has experienced significant and persistent issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between late February and April 2025, all of which were subsequently closed after HPD intervention, though many involved temporary restoration of services that required follow-up reports.

The building's maintenance history shows concerning conditions in Apartment 4A as of August 2024, including active pest infestations (both mice and roaches), multiple violations related to window repairs, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and an issue with the refrigerator door gasket. Additional facility concerns were documented in 2024, including a locked boiler room access violation and inadequate heat supply to Apartment A3, though many violations from April 2024 were subsequently addressed and closed.

Historical records indicate the building's heating system has been a recurring challenge, with Department of Buildings records showing a boiler-related complaint in January 2022, while violations for failure to file annual boiler inspection reports date back to 2019 and 2024. The property's rodent inspection history shows an initial passing inspection from 2012, though subsequent pest violations suggest this has deteriorated over time. The building appears to have ongoing challenges with maintaining basic heating and safety systems, particularly evident in the frequent 311 service requests and HPD interventions throughout 2025.
