238 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 238 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Dian Ping Chen, has experienced consistent regulatory oversight since its construction in 2001. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug report filings, with four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024, all classified as "A" violations.

These violations indicate the building's failure to comply with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years. The building's safety and maintenance record presents a mixed picture. In addition to the bedbug report violations, there was a "B" violation in 2019 regarding inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance, which has since remained unresolved.

However, there has been significant success in rodent control, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections from 2021 through mid-2025, including four consecutive successful inspections in 2024-2025. Notably, there was one instance of rat activity reported in July 2022, but subsequent inspections have consistently passed. The building's most recent rodent inspection from July 2025 continues this pattern of compliance, suggesting effective pest management protocols in this area, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations indicate ongoing challenges with compliance in other maintenance matters.
