730 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
730 51st Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Sze Ping Cheng. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints filed in August 2024 regarding water leaks (heavy flow), sewage problems, and floor maintenance, all of which were closed due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection.
Additional complaints about ceiling damage and appliance issues (specifically with the electric/gas range) were also filed in August 2024, some of which received no violations upon inspection while others remained unresolved. The building currently has three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, representing a potentially serious safety concern.
Despite these recent issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all mandatory bedbug reports filed on time showing zero infested units and no instances of eradication or re-infestation. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 confirmed no infestation incidents, continuing a pattern of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019. While the building has faced several maintenance challenges in 2024, particularly in the areas of plumbing and appliance functionality, it has not exhibited any bedbug-related problems during this time frame.
