457 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 457 68th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Jian Ou He and dating from 1918, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. There are active violations related to boiler safety, including an improperly closing boiler room door with ceiling holes, unsupported smoke pipe, and a hazardous water heater condition with a rotted flue pipe that has been disconnected from the chimney base. These violations, recorded in April 2024, carry penalties of $655 and $1,280 respectively, though no balance is due.
Prior to these issues, the building had consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three filing periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022), reporting zero infested units in each period. The building has maintained regular annual bedbug report filings as required under Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 and 2022, indicating compliance with this specific health requirement. A historical violation from 1984 regarding sealed bathroom windows was certified as resolved in 2020.
The building's recent history includes a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in March 2022, though this complaint was closed and referred to another agency. A boiler-related complaint from April 2024 was inspected the following day and closed with a finding of defective conditions. While the building's bedbug prevention measures appear effective based on reporting data, the recent boiler and water heater safety concerns represent the most significant current maintenance issues, reflecting a departure from the building's otherwise relatively stable recent history of housing maintenance compliance.
