414 61st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, 17-unit tenement building at 414 61st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Amauris Baez, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in late 2024 through April 2025, there was a significant water leak with heavy flow that resulted in HPD violations, though the specific resolution timeframe was not detailed in the records.

The building's systems have shown particular vulnerability to water-related issues, with past emergencies including a complete building heat and hot water failure in May 2021 (though these services were reportedly restored), and a plumbing water supply complaint around the same time that required HPD inspection, which resulted in no violations. Additionally, there were concerns about the building's boiler system in 2021, with two complaints registered about defects or permits, though inspections did not warrant violations. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting, with the most recent filing for 2023-2024 showing zero infested dwellings, and previous years (2022-2023, 2021-2022) showing similar results with no reported infestations or necessary eradications.

Rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022 both passed, indicating effective pest management. There was one complaint in 2021 regarding building shaking or vibration, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit for verification. Despite the various maintenance issues observed, particularly regarding water systems and HVAC, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with bedbug and rodent control requirements, though recent violations related to water conditions suggest ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges.
