1060 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 1060 60th Street in Borough Park, owned by Despina Tstetsos and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are two active ECB violations filed in October 2024, each carrying a $2,500 penalty, related to unauthorized alteration work observed during inspection, including new exterior entry doors, windows, façade work, and rear balcony modifications. The building's Certificate of Occupancy, indicating it should be a three-family residence with a basement boiler and storage, has also come under scrutiny due to observed discrepancies during inspection.

While the building had a rat sighting report in 2018 that resulted in a passed inspection, more recently there has been a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations in 2023 and 2024 related to failure to file the required annual bedbug report according to HPD rules. The property has had three previous compliance violations regarding bedbug reporting between 2021 and 2022, though a bedbug report from 2022 covering the 2020-2021 period indicated no infested units. The building has undergone various inspections and faced several regulatory challenges over the past five years.

A 2021 complaint regarding locked or blocked egress was investigated but no violation was warranted at the time of inspection. The property had two significant violations processed through the Department of Buildings and the Environmental Control Board - one regarding a Certificate of Occupancy issue in 2023, and a separate violation in 2025. The most recent buildings-related activity occurred in June 2025, with a closed complaint involving an Oath Violation. Despite these ongoing compliance challenges, it's worth noting that the building did pass its initial rodent inspection in September 2018.
