478 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The property at 478 60th Street in Sunset Park is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Hua Shi. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, particularly around heat and water services, with multiple emergency complaints filed in July 2024 regarding heat/hot water problems, door/window issues, and plumbing concerns involving steam pipes/riser systems.
These complaints have been mostly resolved through inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though some violations remain open, including issues with a self-closing door at the lobby vestibule and requirements for cleaning various areas of the building, as noted in the August 2024 inspection. The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance challenges, including multiple bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent filing in 2021-2022 showed no infested units.
Notable concerns from 2018-2019 included illegal conversion issues, unauthorized construction creating additional rooms, and occupancy violations resulting in Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $3,925. Rat activity has been consistently documented through various inspections between 2010 and 2021, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building's maintenance record shows some improvements, with the most recent bedbug report indicating no infestations, but persistent issues like the recent heat/water complaints and various open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in common areas.
