865 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This two-story, three-unit residential building at 865 46th Street in Borough Park, owned by Guo Dong Zheng, has been subject to persistent regulatory challenges over the past several years. The most notable ongoing issue involves an unresolved series of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the same violation being recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting protocols as established by HPD regulations.

These open violations, while administrative in nature, suggest a concerning disregard for required tenant safety and health reporting requirements. In addition to these bedbug-related violations, there was a complaint filed in October 2023 regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy status, suggesting possible illegal use or occupancy contrary to the official certificate.

This complaint was marked as closed in November 2024, but records indicate that the inspector was unable to gain access to the property during the second and final inspection attempt. The building, constructed in 1925, has undergone conversion to a Class A building status, though specific details of any prior Class C designation are not provided in the record. The building's recent history as documented through these violations and complaints raises questions about the property's regulatory compliance and management responsiveness, particularly regarding health and safety requirements.
