356 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 356 63rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Lovorko Kovacic, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of October 2024, there is an ongoing heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, which remains unresolved despite HPD's notification to the property owner. This follows a power outage incident in November 2023 that, while investigated by HPD and closed without violations, raises concerns about the building's infrastructure stability.

In terms of pest management, the property has maintained a strong record, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by regular bedbug reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. Additionally, three past rodent inspections (2017, 2022, and most recently in 2025) have all resulted in passing grades, indicating successful pest control measures. The building's most recent bedbug report for the 2023-2024 period, filed in May 2025, confirms the continued absence of infestations.

However, it is worth noting that a Housing Maintenance Code violation was issued in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including one-day power outages and isolated rodent sightings, the overall pattern suggests these have been promptly addressed. The current heat and hot water emergency stands out as the most pressing and ongoing maintenance concern at this time.
