165 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 165 Bleecker Street in Bushwick, owned by Bing Qiang Du, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing water leak problem from late 2023 that remains unresolved as of mid-2024, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues.

The building has also faced multiple violations related to apartment 2B, documented in 2022, including problems with mold, water leaks, deteriorated surfaces, and fire safety concerns, though these were mostly classified as "B" violations rather than "A" (emergency) violations. Importantly, all past bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 show zero infestations, and recent rodent inspections from 2023 to mid-2025 have consistently passed, indicating improved pest control management. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, including a 2022 mold complaint and multiple rodent sightings in 2020, though the latter appears to have been addressed through subsequent inspections.

Significant violations noted in 2022 include problems with bathroom fixtures, fire escape access, and various maintenance issues in apartment 2B, though many of these have not yet shown as certified corrections in the records. Recent inspections in 2025 continue to show the building passing rodent inspections, suggesting improved management of this particular issue, while the most recent bedbug filings continue to report no infestations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in June 2025 showing compliance, indicating improved conditions in this regard.
