579 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 44-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 579 61st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Tanet Tukes, has experienced several significant maintenance issues between late 2024 and mid-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related complaints in 2025, including two closed cases of heavy flow leaks in June 2025, one of which resulted in violations that require owner correction.
The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in both late 2024 and continuing into 2025, including an open emergency complaint from October 2024 about the entire building's heat/hot water system. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges throughout 2024, including reports of unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests (in November 2024) and several paint/plaster issues. Noteworthy violations include lead paint hazards identified in Apartment 1G in November 2024, though some of these violations have since been closed.
The building has two active Department of Buildings violations related to energy reporting: a dismissed violation from May 2024 for failing to file a benchmarking report, and a currently active violation from April 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five filing periods (2020-2024), there was a rodent inspection in February 2024 that identified rat activity. The property, built in 1927, has shown persistent issues with basic services and building maintenance, particularly regarding water systems and heat/hot water availability.
