336 64th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 336 64th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Emiterio Rendon and constructed in 1927, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues and violations over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including multiple emergency complaints in 2019 and 2023 regarding entire building outages. Recent health and safety concerns include a 2024 electric power outage that resulted in violations, as well as unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests for which violations were issued.

The building has also faced significant interior issues, particularly in apartment 1R, where recent violations from November 2024 were documented for missing outlet covers and non-functional carbon monoxide detectors. An open Class C violation from the same inspection indicates ongoing issues with roach infestation in this apartment. The property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications and permit violations. In 2023, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for unpermitted electrical work in the first-floor apartment, resulting in an $800 penalty.

An active ECB violation from June 2023 pertains to illegal room conversions in the basement with improper fixtures, carrying a penalty of $1,250. A Department of Buildings complaint investigation in December 2023 found a permit violation for work being done without proper approval. While there have been multiple investigations into various complaints, including plumbing issues and air quality concerns, some complaints have been closed without violations being found, such as a 2023 heat and hot water complaint and a 2024 water supply issue. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive care, with multiple complaints being filed by different tenants for similar issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
