242 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 242 9th Street in Gowanus, owned by Kai Leong, has a documented history of moisture-related issues, most recently in early 2023, when complaints of water leaks and mold were reported and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues were classified as a combination of emergency and non-emergency conditions, with violations issued.
More recently, in 2024, the building received a violation notice regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous filings from 2023 and 2025 showed no indications of infestations during their respective reporting periods. The building underwent a comprehensive HPD inspection in July 2023, resulting in multiple violations related to safety and maintenance requirements.
These included the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and the building's registration number, as well as maintaining proper documentation of inspection visits. Earlier in 2023, specific repairs were required in apartment 2, including ventilation system repairs and remediation of visible mold conditions near a window frame. While no bedbug infestations have been recorded in recent years (with 0 infested units reported in the 2023-2025 filings), the building's history shows recurring moisture and mold-related issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
