BOERUM HILL, BROOKLYN — Leonid Tysyachnyy, a 75-year-old man who lives in the large, brick apartment building at 50 Nevins St., was reported as a missing person Monday night by the NYPD.

Tysyachnyy was last seen at his apartment more than two weeks ago, on Sunday, March 6 at 2 p.m., police said.

He is described by police as a pale white man with brown eyes and gray hair. He stands approximately 5-feet-8-inches tall, police said, and weights around 165 pounds.

A Facebook profile that appears to belong to Tysyachnyy is filled with links to political news stories and long, rambling status updates in both English and Ukrainian. In November 2014, the Facebook user shared a letter he had written to a U.S. government official, asking that he be considered for the position of U.N. Secretary General. His last Facebook post was on March 5 — one day before police say Tysyachnyy was seen for the final time at his apartment.

Anyone with information on Tysyachnyy's whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS. Spanish speakers can call 1-888-57-PISTA.

Tips can also be submitted online or by texting 274637, then entering TIP577.
