246 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

246 51st Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Quang Tran. Built in 1905, this property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most significant cluster occurring in September 2023 when the building faced multiple emergency situations including a power outage, water supply issues, and cooking gas problems, all of which were resolved promptly with no violations issued.

An inspection on September 13, 2023, revealed several housing maintenance code violations, including the need to remove a permanent door stopper preventing self-closing at the first-story vestibule, and the requirement to post various safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and the building's heating system keyholder. The building's maintenance record shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance over the past three years, with no infestations reported in the 2023-2024 filing period, and the same was true for previous years (2022-2023 and 2020-2021), indicating effective pest management practices. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as demonstrated by filings in 2025, 2024, and 2022 showing zero infested units.

Historical records from 2021 through 2023 show no violations related to bedbug reporting during these years. While the September 2023 incidents suggest potential challenges with building systems, the rapid resolution of these issues indicates responsive management. The building's age and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with typical Brooklyn brownstone architecture of this era, though the recent safety notice violations indicate some gaps in regulatory compliance that were identified and documented as of September 2023.
