617 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
This two-story, three-unit residential building at 617 48th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jinhang Chen, has experienced several notable health and safety issues in recent years.
Most concerning are the rodent-related problems: in 2023 there were both a rodent-related complaint filed in April (where health inspectors could not access the property) and recorded rat activity in May, followed by a passed compliance inspection in July 2023. The building has also faced consistent bedbug reporting requirements, with three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (in 2021, 2022, and 2023) for not filing annual bedbug reports, though records indicate no actual bedbug infestations during the relevant filing periods - 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2022-2023 - with all units being listed as free of infestation and eradication during these years.
The most recent bedbug report from January 2024 shows no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, suggesting improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there is no record of certification completion for the earlier violations. While there have been recurring health-related issues, the recent rat inspections in July 2023, which passed, indicate some level of remediation, though the building's historical pattern of violations suggests continued vigilance may be necessary.
