1404 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1404 Cortelyou Road in Flatbush, owned by Sao Kao Cheang, has a documented history from 2019 to 2025 showing consistent regulatory compliance with some noteworthy patterns. The building underwent food establishment inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2020 and 2021, all related to the same concern about bare hands in contact with food, though these complaints appear to have been properly addressed and were administratively closed in 2024.

The property has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations regarding bedbug report filings in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024, though subsequent bedbug reporting documents show no actual infestations were reported during these periods, with all counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units listed as 0. The building has maintained good standing in terms of pest control, passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2023, including the most recent compliance check in December 2023.

Two Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections conducted in March 2025 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's annual bedbug reporting, particularly in the most recent 2023-2024 filing, indicates no infestation issues during that period, and similar patterns of compliance can be seen in previous years with zero reported infestations between 2019 and 2022. While the property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding food handling practices and bedbug reporting compliance, the absence of persistent violations and successful resolution of most complaints suggests responsive management, particularly in more recent years where both rodent control and bedbug reporting have achieved clear compliance status.
