50 Chester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 50 Chester Avenue in Kensington, owned by Linh Duc Chau, has experienced consistent regulatory requirements regarding bedbug reporting over the past several years. The building, constructed in 1931 and designated as a New Law Tenement, has had four consecutive open violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These recurring violations suggest ongoing non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though it's worth noting that during the 2021 reporting period (covering November 2019 to October 2020), the building reported zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating no actual bedbug presence during that timeframe. The most recent inspection in April 2024, as well as the previous inspections in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, have all resulted in the same bedbug reporting violation, though the 2021 violation was subsequently closed following the filing of a report on April 16, 2021.

This filing covered a period during which no bedbug activity was recorded, demonstrating compliance for that specific reporting period. However, the pattern of open violations for bedbug reporting in subsequent years suggests an ongoing issue with timely compliance to HPD requirements, though it remains unclear whether this reflects actual bedbug presence or primarily administrative oversight.
