6407 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 6407 19th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Angela Hou, has a history spanning several years that warrants attention. Most notably, the property has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with at least four documented violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicated no infested units, it's worth noting that the filing dated July 2024 was submitted approximately three months after the April 2024 violation. The building has also been under scrutiny for possible unauthorized modifications, with two significant departmental complaints.

In 2021, there was a verified complaint regarding construction work beyond approved plans/permits, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation issued against the owner in April 2021 for not signing off on an expired permit from 2015-2016, which carries an active penalty of $1,250. Additionally, an illegal conversion complaint was filed in October 2022, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the two attempts to investigate in March 2023. On a positive note, the building passed an initial rodent inspection conducted in July 2012, and the most recent bedbug report indicates no infestations or eradication efforts needed during the documented period.
