1770 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11207

1770 Broadway, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Hong Qing Tang. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, most notably recent infestations documented in September and July 2023, with the latest inspection revealing roach infestations in the second-floor apartment and violations related to unsanitary conditions in the public hall.

The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with a cluster of complaints in July 2021 addressing various issues including mold, plumbing problems, electrical concerns, and appliance maintenance, though no violations were ultimately issued for these matters. Structural and safety concerns have also been documented, including missing wood balusters on the second-story stairs (February 2023) and various maintenance issues in the public areas such as broken tiles and garbage accumulation (July 2021).

While the building passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 and reported no bedbug incidents between November 2019 and October 2020, the recent pest problems represent the most significant ongoing health and safety concerns. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of unsatisfactory conditions primarily affecting common areas, with the most recent violations related to both apartment-specific and shared spaces, including requirements to address waste management and sanitation in common areas.
