741 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

741 61st Street is a 6-story, Class B building in Sunset Park, newly constructed in 2016 and currently owned by Xiao J Chen. The building has experienced several regulatory interactions over the past few years, with the most recent being an active complaint as of May 2025 related to Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections.

Looking back at the building's history, there was one documented case of unsanitary garbage/recycling storage in early 2021, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. Between 2019-2021, the property underwent several inspections related to various safety and compliance issues, including three separate Local Law 188 inspections in 2023 that required two final attempts due to inspector access issues. The building has faced some compliance challenges, as evidenced by violations related to energy efficiency requirements in 2020 and 2021, though both were subsequently dismissed.

There were also inspections in 2020 concerning defective/exposed electrical wiring and plumbing work, both of which resulted in no violations. A recent pest control report from July 2024 indicates one bedbug infestation case between late 2022 and October 2023, though the unit was reported as eradicated with no re-infestation. The building has demonstrated periodic challenges with accessing for inspections, as seen in multiple instances requiring second attempts, and has had to address various compliance matters regarding energy benchmarking and safety inspections throughout its relatively short history.
