278 East 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, two-story building at 278 East 39th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Susanna Li and constructed in 1935, has experienced recurring maintenance issues primarily related to safety compliance and bedbug reporting over the past few years. Most notably, there have been consistent violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, with the most recent violations recorded in April 2024 and March 2023, though the property has demonstrated proper reporting in recent filings, including a March 2025 report showing zero infested dwelling units.

The building faced several safety-related violations in 2022, including defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and in Apartment 2, as well as the need for proper signage regarding the person with keys to the heating system. Additional concerns included the requirement to repair or replace carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2.

Earlier inspections from 2020 also noted violations requiring proper building registration signage and heating system keyholder notification. Notably, all violations on record have been closed, indicating that the necessary corrections were made, though the pattern of violations suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements has been necessary. The building's documentation shows an active effort to maintain compliance with city regulations, with recent bedbug reports being properly filed showing no current infestations, marking a significant improvement in this area.
