474 62nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-story, three-unit building at 474 62nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Chi-hung Vuong and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently. Most notably, in January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints including a heavy water leak, an entire building heat/hot water issue, and pest-related unsanitary conditions, all of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building's history shows a pattern of bedbug reporting requirements being violated between 2021 and 2023, with three instances of non-compliance being recorded for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. The property's bedbug infestation history suggests a previously concerning period from late 2019 to 2020 when three units were reportedly infested, though subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2025 indicate no further infestations, with the most recent 2024 filing showing zero infested units and no re-infested units.

Access issues were noted during a heat/hot water complaint investigation in January 2025, where HPD was unable to gain access to verify the reported condition. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and water issues, it's worth noting that many complaints were resolved through inspections, though some required enforcement action through violations.
