1366 65th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 1366 65th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Guo Chen and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Of particular concern is a November 2019 heat and hot water outage that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a week. The building has faced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though recent filings show no infestations were reported for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2022.

More recent developments include a notable safety issue in late 2024 regarding debris or falling material, which prompted a stop work order in March 2025. During this period, an unpermitted facade improvement project was identified that resulted in a $2,500 fine, though this violation has since been resolved. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny for egress obstruction, with a November 2019 violation issued regarding air conditioning units protruding more than four inches from the window sill at the second and third-story balconies, though this specific violation's current status is not clearly indicated in available records.

An inspection of the building in 2022 appeared to show no current violations, and the 2023 bedbug reporting cycle indicates no ongoing infestations or eradication efforts. The property has also experienced some administrative issues, including a missed 2023 external low-pressure inspection filing, though this violation was subsequently dismissed. Despite these various compliance issues, the most recent records suggest a period of relative stability regarding major maintenance concerns, with no new violations reported in the latest inspection cycles.
