253 62nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 253 62nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Chris Arlia, has a significant history of housing maintenance code violations, particularly concentrated in 2018 when multiple safety issues were documented in apartment 2R. These violations included problems with self-closing doors, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window guard deficiencies, an unauthorized drop ceiling installation, and the need for proper fire escape clearance.

All these violations were subsequently closed by 2018, with most being certified as corrected between April and October 2018. The building has maintained a clean record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, as indicated by the annual bedbug reporting showing zero infested units for the past six consecutive reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.

A rodent inspection in February 2017 also passed without issues. The property appears to have addressed its previous safety concerns, as no new violations or pest infestations have been recorded in the past five years, though it's worth noting that the 2018 violations suggest there was a period requiring attention to basic safety systems including doors, windows, and detection equipment.
