363 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 363 63rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Shou Shi, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over the past three years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout the building, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2023 and February 2024. While heat and hot water were reportedly restored on some occasions, the building experienced similar issues in 2022, suggesting this may be an ongoing infrastructure problem.

Additionally, there was a period of rat activity noted in early 2024, though subsequent inspections in July 2024 have passed compliance checks. The building has also faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including the need to repair self-closing doors in the first-story vestibule, which remains an open violation as of 2024, and requirements to maintain proper gas leak procedures and post housing information notices. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past six filing periods, covering from 2019 through 2024.

While an illegal conversion complaint was filed in January 2023, the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The building's rodent control efforts have shown some inconsistency, with initial inspections in early 2024 showing rat activity, though recent compliance inspections have passed. The owner has complied with various violations, such as removing encumbrances in the second-story public hall and fulfilling other code requirements, as evidenced by close dates on these violations. The building's maintenance record shows a combination of prompt responses to issues and some ongoing infrastructure challenges that affect resident comfort.
