1455 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1455 68th Street is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst, built in 1931 and currently owned by Mohamad Omeis. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between December 2020 and January 2025, all of which were classified as emergencies. The most recent incident occurred in January 2025, when HPD was unable to access the building for inspection.

A construction lead dust complaint affecting common areas and apartments was filed in August 2023 and remains in progress as of October 2023. The building has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs, with several issues documented between 2019 and 2020. Notable findings included problems with the building's security doors and fire escape access due to protruding air conditioning units in 2020, as well as multiple violations related to apartment 6D, including mold, smoke detector issues, and problems with ceiling surfaces.

While these violations have been marked as closed, they indicate past maintenance challenges. The building has consistently maintained a pest-free environment, with all eight annual bedbug reports from 2019 through December 2024 showing zero infested units or required eradications. The frequent heat and hot water complaints, particularly in recent years, represent the most significant ongoing maintenance concern for the building.
