836 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
836 44th Street in Borough Park is a two-story, five-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Yat Fung Cheng. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four Housing Maintenance Code violations issued for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports.
However, the most recent bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period shows no infested units (with zero units listed as infested, eradicated, or re-infested), suggesting successful treatment and resolution of any previous infestations. The property has a concerning pattern of Department of Buildings complaints regarding potential illegal conversions, with three complaints filed between 2021 and 2024 (for 2021, 2023, and most recently in 2024).
In each instance, inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to access denial, with the most recent complaint entered on May 30, 2024, remaining unresolved as of July 2025. While the building's bedbug reporting compliance has improved (as evidenced by the clean 2024 report), the persistent illegal conversion complaints raise ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications to the property.
