818 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-story, 8-unit building at 818 60th Street in Borough Park, owned by Ray Chen and constructed in 2016, has experienced several significant events since its completion. The property has a concerning track record of food-related incidents, with four separate Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between 2023-2025, including cases of food contamination and a food poisoning incident involving one or two affected individuals.

Of particular note, two Local Law 188 inspections in October 2024 were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," occurring between October 2024 and January 2025, which raises concerns about compliance with this important safety regulation. The building has faced multiple compliance inspections and complaints regarding illegal use of space and signage, though most were found to warrant no violation upon inspection. These include an illegal conversion complaint in 2021, a Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint in 2020, and concerns about illegal advertising in 2023.

A violation was issued in June 2021 regarding an unspecified issue, which was resolved by February 2022. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between November 2022 and October 2023, and all previous infestations being successfully eradicated. The most recent food-related complaints in early 2025 resulted in health department investigations, with the NYC Health Department providing inspection information through its official channels, though the details of any violations or enforcement actions are not specified in the records.
