This three-story, two-unit residential building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by We Chen Foo, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most significant problems occurring between late 2019 and early 2020. The building faced recurring heat and hot water problems during late 2019, with two emergency complaints filed in November and December that year. The first complaint, which was closed after no violations were found, followed a complaint that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

A subsequent violation from December 2019 specifically documented inadequate heat supply issues in the second-floor apartment, which was certified for correction in December 2019. The property has also maintained a compliant bedbug reporting record since 2021, with no confirmed infestations or necessary eradications reported, including the most recent filing from 2024 showing zero infested units. The building's violation history shows attention to safety and code compliance, with various issues addressed over time.

These include a 2020 violation regarding a defective brick guardrail at the front porch, and multiple violations between 2017 and 2019 concerning illegal locks on emergency egress points. Specifically, a 2019 violation was documented regarding an improper lock on the fire escape window in the second-floor apartment, and in 2017, a violation was issued for an unauthorized double-cylinder lock on the building entrance door, which was not certified as corrected until July 2018. The property has shown consistent attention to annual bedbug reporting requirements as evidenced by the filings from 2021 through 2024, all indicating zero infestation issues during their respective reporting periods.
