446 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 446 60th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Cheng Zheng, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most concerning was a boiler-related incident in October 2022, which resulted in a Department of Buildings complaint about a defective or inoperative boiler, and an Environmental Control Board violation regarding both boiler room access information and a clogged fresh air screen, though this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's rodent situation appears to have improved over time, with initial evidence of rat activity in 2020-2021 giving way to regular baiting inspections throughout 2021-2022. The property was issued a housing maintenance violation in April 2021 for failing to file its annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings (2022-2024) have shown zero infestation or eradication cases. Rat activity reports in 2021 showed consistent monitoring and baiting efforts, indicating active pest management, though the initial inspections revealed multiple instances of rat activity between May 2020 and August 2021.

More recent records show the building has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2024 filings). The property appears to be in better condition now compared to its documented history, with no significant recent violations or complaints on record since the 2022 boiler incident. The building maintains its original 1907 structure as a New Law Tenement, and though there have been various pest and maintenance issues in the past, the most recent available data suggests improved compliance and maintenance practices.
