469 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 469 61st Street in Sunset Park, owned by William Chan, is a 2-story building constructed in 1910. The property has experienced some significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most substantial cluster of problems occurring in May 2023.

During this period, the building faced multiple plumbing-related emergencies, including issues with water supply, bathtub/shower functionality, and toilet systems. Additionally, there were concerns about water leaks and damp spots, which were categorized as non-emergency but still indicative of persistent moisture issues. The building also had safety concerns during this period, with reports of a broken or missing window guard and an emergency fire escape issue that required immediate attention.

Prior to these incidents, there was an earlier complaint in March 2021 regarding a lack of heat or hot water, though in this case, HPD was unable to access the apartment for inspection, and the complaint was closed with instructions to file a new complaint if the problem persisted. While the May 2023 complaints were all marked as closed within two days, the sheer number and variety of issues reported during this period suggest notable habitability challenges within the building. The property's age and classification as a two-family house are typical for the Sunset Park neighborhood, but the recent pattern of maintenance issues may warrant attention to the building's overall condition and systems.
