347 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-unit, 3-story tenement at 347 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Qiurong Chen, was constructed in 1905 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's history of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in April and December 2020, and March 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification in the 2020 instances.

The property has also faced safety concerns, particularly regarding window guards, with a critical violation issued in August 2022 affecting the 2nd-floor apartment, though this violation has since been closed. A series of lead paint violations were documented in 2022, primarily affecting the 2nd-floor apartment, requiring remediation of identified hazards, including peeling paint and surfaces with deteriorated conditions. More recently, the building has maintained active bedbug reporting compliance, with no recorded infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025).

However, rodent issues were documented in 2021-2022, with inspections revealing rat activity and bait application. The property has shown some environmental management compliance, as evidenced by the filing of bedbug reports demonstrating attention to this aspect of building maintenance. The most recent inspection records from 2023-2024 indicate primarily administrative compliance matters, including the need to file annual bedbug reports, with one lead paint violation remaining open as of the last inspection date.
