1253 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, six-unit building at 1253 70th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Dimeng Chen, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past few years, with multiple complaints documented between 2020 and 2022. Most recently, in March 2023, the building faced several urgent maintenance issues including problems with electrical wiring, mold, pests, and heat/hot water concerns, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued.

The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in March 2023 that revealed several safety concerns in apartment 1F, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a defective self-closing door, though these violations were subsequently closed after repairs were made. The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with the most recent 2024 filing showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the previous year.

Historical records show a complaint about a defective boiler in December 2020, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. A series of safety-related violations were documented and addressed in March 2023, including requirements for proper posting of safety notices and building registration information in common areas. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic challenges with basic services like heat and hot water, though many recent complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, with no current open violations on record as of 2025.
