862 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 862 42nd Street in Borough Park, built in 1920 and currently owned by Qiuying Li, has experienced several recurring administrative matters over the past few years. Most notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building received four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have been marked as closed.

Recent bedbug reporting shows no infestations during the 2022-2023 reporting period, as confirmed by the May 2024 filing, and prior to that, the 2019-2020 filing also reported no cases. The building has been subject to three complaints regarding illegal conversions between 2020 and 2025, with varying outcomes - the most recent complaint from January 2025 is currently active with access denied upon inspection, while the previous two complaints (2022 and 2020) were closed, though access was also denied during inspections in both cases. The property has undergone rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, with the 2013 inspection passing compliance, despite an initial failure noted in the preceding inspection.

The building's record shows a pattern of administrative issues primarily related to bedbug reporting compliance, though recent filings indicate this matter may have been resolved. The repeated complaints regarding illegal conversions suggest ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications to the property, though it's worth noting that the most recent activity in this regard has been limited to access denial during inspections. The rodent inspections, while showing one initial failure, subsequently demonstrated compliance, suggesting normal regulatory oversight is generally being maintained.
