1701 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1701 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Dian Ping Chen, has a documented history of various maintenance issues since 2018. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations dated March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024 indicating non-compliance with HPD rules requiring annual bedbug reports to be filed.

The property also has multiple active violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2019 through 2023, suggesting compliance issues with safety equipment maintenance protocols. The building's maintenance record shows several concerning patterns between 2018 and 2025. In recent years, particularly in 2021, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage that resulted in violations.

The building has maintained a generally passed status on rodent inspections conducted in 2018, 2019, and 2021, despite a rodent-related complaint in August 2021 that was investigated but found with no violations. The 2019 inspection revealed multiple safety-related violations, including issues with posting requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and a fire escape lock in apartment 3R, as well as a lead paint hazard on the north wall of the second room from the east. While some violations from 2019 were classified as "C" (more serious), many of the more recent violations are categorized as "A" (less serious) or "B," though the ongoing nature of the bedbug report violations suggests persistent compliance issues.
