744 60th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

744 60th Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, built in 1915 and currently owned by Andrew Malinowski. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being recurring pest problems, as evidenced by two separate unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in 2023 (August and September), and violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for unsanitary conditions. The property has also faced electrical infrastructure challenges, with three power outage incidents reported in June 2025, including one classified as an immediate emergency.

Additional maintenance history includes a water leak with heavy flow in 2021 that resulted in violations, various structural issues identified during a May 2024 inspection (including broken glass panes and damaged fire-retardant plaster in public areas), and previous problems with mold, plumbing, and wall conditions documented in 2018. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing but not fully resolving certain issues. While violations from the 2024 inspection were certified as corrected by June 2024, these included multiple repairs needed for fire-retardant plaster and walls in common areas.

The building has passed rodent inspections conducted in 2019 and 2016, though a compliance failure was noted in 2016 for other reasons. Notably, the bedbug reporting for the past several years (2021-2023) shows no recorded infestations, indicating this particular pest has not been a problem in recent times. The property has undergone some regulatory scrutiny, with a 2024 violation requiring the owner to address unauthorized ceiling alterations in Apartment 4 made prior to legalization requirements.
