1459 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1459 66th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Lilan Wu, is a 1901 tenement building that has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2019, though subsequent rodent inspections performed later that month resulted in a passing grade, and no further rodent-related complaints have been recorded.

The building has had consistent compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, as evidenced by three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations during that period, though these violations were ultimately resolved. The apartment has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight subsequent annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The property has been subject to two Department of Buildings complaints in recent years: one in 2019 related to professional certification compliance (which found no violations upon inspection in 2020), and a more recent complaint from May 2025 regarding possible illegal conversion, which was also found to have no violations when inspected in June 2025. Permit records show that an exterior work permit was issued in October 2019, and the building has had no recurring safety or habitability issues reported through 311 or other channels since the initial rodent sighting. The most recent available data (through 2024-2025) indicates that the building is currently free from any active violations or infestations, with regular maintenance and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements now being properly maintained.
