1370 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit apartment building at 1370 66th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Mohammad Aslam, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent cluster of complaints in 2023 primarily relating to unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. Four separate HPD complaints between January and April 2023 regarding these unsanitary conditions were all closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access for verification.

The building has also faced some significant infrastructure challenges in recent years, including a heat/hot water emergency in July 2022, power outages, and lighting issues during the same period, though inspections revealed these problems had been resolved by the time of the investigation. The property has open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements and several safety notice postings that remain non-compliant as of 2024. There were multiple complaints in 2018 regarding potential illegal conversions, building vibrations, and construction work, with at least one oath violation recorded.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2019 indicate the building owner had issues with occupancy compliance and failed to file necessary corrections, resulting in fines totaling over $7,500. There were also concerns about building maintenance, including a 2018-2019 pattern of violations suggesting problems with wall conditions and unauthorized occupancy modifications. While many earlier violations from 2018-2019 have been resolved, including those related to wall maintenance, more recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance with housing regulations.
