641 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 3-unit residential building at 641 51st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Xianglu Jiang, has been facing recurring compliance issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around bedbug reporting requirements and potential unauthorized usage of residential units. The building has received four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024 (most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated under Housing Maintenance Code, though no certified resolution dates have been recorded for these violations.

Additionally, there have been three complaints regarding unauthorized short-term rentals or illegal conversion of the property to hotel use, all of which resulted in closed cases due to inspectors being unable to gain access during their second and final attempts. These complaints were logged in October 2023, June 2023, and July 2019, with the most recent complaint (3930431) entered in October 2023 and closed in December 2023, all pertaining to the illegal use of hotel rooms in residential buildings.

The 1220 address listed in these complaints appears to be a document error, as it does not match the known building address. While the building maintains its classification as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure, the pattern of violations and complaints over multiple years suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
