716 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 716 New Lots Avenue, owned by Xiaohong Li, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2024, with the most pressing concerns being unsanitary conditions and pest infestations. Notably, there have been multiple reports of pest problems in 2025, with at least three complaints about pests in April and May 2025 alone, including one incident where an HPD inspection was attempted but could not be completed.

The building has also faced multiple violations related to sanitation and maintenance, particularly in Apartment 2, where issues have been documented including the need for window guard repairs (8 units required work), hydronic baseboard heater repairs, and evidence of a cockroach infestation, all classified as Class C violations. Other maintenance issues documented in 2024-2025 include plumbing problems (including a toilet issue in March 2025), various interior maintenance needs such as ceiling and floor issues, and general appliance concerns. The building's recent history has shown persistent challenges with pest management, with multiple reports of both rodent and cockroach infestations between 2024 and 2025, though a compliance inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade for rodent activity.

The property has also faced various building maintenance issues, including problems with doors, windows, and appliances, which have generally been addressed through HPD inspections, though some violations remain open. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a regular schedule of inspections and violations process, indicating ongoing oversight by HPD. The property does not currently show any bedbug infestation history in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), suggesting this particular issue has not affected the building in recent years.
