66 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223

66 Avenue U is a three-story, five-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Victoria Missirlakis and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in October 2024, including broken window guards, multiple reports of pest infestations, and appliance concerns (specifically related to an electric/gas range). These recent violations, particularly the window guard issue, raise significant safety concerns.

A comprehensive inspection on October 26, 2024, revealed multiple open violations in apartment 2R, including requirements to address water leaks, repair and paint various surfaces, and fix plaster defects. The building also received violations related to proper notice postings in common areas and various administrative requirements. Looking back at the building's history, there was a heat and hot water emergency in January 2022, which was reportedly resolved during the HPD investigation.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. While the current violations provide a concerning snapshot of the building's maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 2R, the absence of bedbug problems and the resolution of the 2022 heat issue suggest some variability in the building's maintenance history. The property is subject to several ongoing violations as of the latest inspection, indicating that multiple maintenance issues require attention.
