The three-story, two-unit tenement building at 401 Crescent Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Ehsanullah Ashrati, has a century-long history dating back to 1910. The property has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations or eradication efforts needed. The building has maintained active rodent control measures in 2023-2024, with regular bait applications, after showing evidence of rat activity in 2019.
Several significant structural and safety concerns have been documented, including an ADC violation in 2022 regarding obstructed fire escape access due to scaffolding, and interior issues including wall cracks and water damage identified in the first-floor apartment. The building has undergone multiple inspections related to these matters, with the most recent structural-related complaint about building shaking/vibrating resolved in April 2025, and a sidewalk shed issue from 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. An earlier lighting violation from 2018 regarding inadequate front entrance illumination was resolved in July 2018.
The property's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of compliance efforts, with most violations being closed upon correction. The building has undergone regular inspections and treatments for pest control, including systematic rodent bait applications throughout 2023-2024. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent filings and inspections suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding bedbug and rodent control, with no reported infestations in the latest bedbug report and ongoing rodent management showing consistent treatment application.
