612 67th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 612 67th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Ray Chen and constructed in 1923, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety incidents over recent years. Most recently, in April 2024, there were complaints regarding pests and violations related to self-closing doors in the vestibule and bicycle encumbrances in the second-story public hall, though these violations were certified as corrected by April 24, 2024. Between 2019-2020, the building had multiple safety-related issues, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, with complaints filed in May 2019 that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

There were also concerns about window guard safety in April 2019, though inspections found no violations. A November 2019 violation regarding failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report remains active as of October 2023. The building has maintained a consistent record of pest control success, with the most recent bedbug report (January 2025) showing zero infested units, maintaining the pattern from previous years (2020-2024) where no units were reported as infested.

Historical violations from 2019 include multiple cases of encumbrances in public hallways across different floors, which were addressed by October 2019. During 2019, there were also several safety notification requirements issued, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures in common areas, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's most recent 311 service request and housing maintenance code complaints show activity primarily related to unsanitary conditions in 2024, though no violations were issued upon inspection. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many have been addressed and resolved through official channels.
