AI summary · updated June 2026

172 Veronica Place is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement located in the Flatbush neighborhood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Kaufman Wu. The building's maintenance history reveals several important patterns, most notably regarding pest management and maintenance responsiveness. A recent complaint from August 2024 about unsanitary conditions and pests resulted in an HPD inspection attempt, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the unit, leading to a closed case status. The building has maintained an exemplary record with regards to bedbugs, with six consecutive annual reports (from 2019-2025) showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, though violations for failure to file the annual bedbug report were issued in 2021 and 2023.

In early 2019, the building experienced several non-emergency electrical issues related to lighting, with multiple complaints filed between January 29 and February 1, though no violations were ultimately issued. An emergency complaint regarding heat and hot water was also filed during this period, but tenants reported that the issue was resolved before inspection. The building underwent permitted work in 2018-2019, with several permits issued for electrical and plumbing work under job number 340612581. While the building's recent bedbug reporting has shown proper compliance with no infestations, the unresolved pest complaint from 2024 and the building's age suggest maintenance issues should be monitored.
