417 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 417 63rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xingguang Wang, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. In August 2020, multiple concerning conditions were reported and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations related to pests, wall damage, window frame issues, electrical wiring problems, and safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations, along with others documented in September 2020, included specific problems in Apartment 2 such as mice infestation, door closure failures, and damaged plastered surfaces in both the bathroom and a bedroom. More recently, the building has shown improvements in some areas, with the property filing its annual bedbug report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicating zero infested units and no re-infestation issues, as of May 2024.

However, several violations from September 2020 remain open as of the latest inspection records, including safety concerns about self-closing doors in the vestibule and issues with exposed electrical wiring in the public hallway. The building has been classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A" and was constructed in 1910, with its most recent documented violations being primarily related to infrastructure and maintenance issues rather than new safety concerns. While many of the original August 2020 complaints were addressed or closed, the persistence of certain violations and the history of various maintenance problems suggest ongoing attention to building upkeep is required.
