772 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, two-family house at 772 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Wor Tin Tung, has experienced several notable maintenance and regulatory events since its construction in 1998. The most recent issue, reported in February 2024, involved unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to verify the reported problems.

Prior to this, the building faced a heat and hot water emergency in December 2019, which was reportedly resolved shortly after tenant notification. The property has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) investigations between 2019 and 2022 concerning alleged illegal conversions, though in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access or found no violations warranting further action.

The building's recent history suggests no persistent pest issues, as evidenced by three consecutive annual Bedbug Reports from 2022 through 2024, all indicating zero affected units and no instances of infestation or re-infestation. The property's maintenance record shows periodic issues requiring intervention from city agencies, particularly regarding heating systems and waste management, though most complaints have been resolved or closed out. While the building's relatively recent construction date (1998) and absence of documented bedbug infestations indicate some aspects of proper maintenance, the recurring pattern of access denial during inspections and occasional service issues may warrant attention to building access protocols and prompt maintenance response times.
