124 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, two-family house at 124 Beverley Road in Kensington, owned by Wen Ming Chen and built in 1930, has experienced several notable issues over the past several years. Most recently, in July 2022, there was a food safety complaint regarding spoiled food that was subsequently addressed and closed in June 2024.

In 2019, the building faced significant maintenance challenges, including violations for inadequate heat and hot water (C class violations) and cooking gas supply issues in the second-floor apartment, as well as multiple violations in the third-floor apartment involving mold, damaged plaster, and unsafe electrical wiring in the private hallway. These violations were inspected and addressed in July 2019. The property has had recurring rodent issues, with initial evidence of rat activity noted in November 2019 and August 2019, though subsequent inspections in February 2020 and July 2022 passed without incident.

Additionally, there was a food establishment-related complaint in November 2018 concerning rodents, insects, and garbage, which led to official warnings to the owner. The most recent building inspection results indicate improved conditions, with no active violations or rodent activity noted as of the latest inspection records. While the building has experienced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019, the most recent records suggest successful remediation of these issues, though the historical pattern of complaints indicates past difficulties with both pest control and basic building systems maintenance.
