779 47Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

779 47th Street is a 14-unit, 7-story residential building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Liang Zhidi Guo. The building, which is designated as "Hereafter Converted Class A," has experienced several significant building management issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding unauthorized construction work, with three documented cases of "Work Without a Permit - Occupied Multiple Dwelling" between May and August 2023.

Two immediately hazardous violations were issued in October and November 2023 related to failure to certify corrections, though these violations were dismissed in December 2023. The building has been subject to several inspections under Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with most resulting in "No Enforcement Action Required" findings. While the most recent health department inspection in April 2025 responded to a rodent complaint, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at the time of inspection. The building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero affected units or required eradications.

Two complaints regarding illegal/ improper vent/exhaust systems were filed in July 2023, though no violations were found during the August 2024 inspection. It's worth noting that there is currently one active complaint from August 2024 regarding an illegal business sign/awning/marquee/canopy, while an earlier complaint from the same month regarding illegal building conversion was closed due to inspector access issues. The building's relatively recent construction (2019) and consistent bedbug-free record are positive indicators of current living conditions, though the history of unauthorized construction work and recent pest concerns warrant attention. Recent compliance inspections have generally resulted in no enforcement actions, suggesting improvements in regulatory adherence, though some complaints are still pending resolution as of 2025.
