1221 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
At 1221 70th Street in Dyker Heights, this 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1930 has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns with Unit 1F, which is currently facing multiple open violations related to lead paint hazards, including peeling paint and deteriorated surfaces on door frames and walls. The unit also has outstanding issues requiring repairs to plastered surfaces and repainting in various rooms, as documented in the September 2024 inspection.
Recent plumbing problems were reported in February 2025, though the HPD was unable to complete an inspection. This building has a documented history of electrical issues, with power outages and lighting problems reported in December 2019, which the HPD could not inspect at the time. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2025.
A historical violation related to boiler inspection reporting from 2019 was dismissed after the owner paid the associated penalty. While the building is now facing multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly focused on Unit 1F, the owner has shown some responsiveness to previous issues as evidenced by the closure of various complaints, though many recent complaints remain unresolved. The property has undergone several HPD inspections, with mixed results including both violations being issued and the agency being unable to complete inspections on multiple occasions.
