1839 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204
The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1839 68th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Ben Li, has several significant and ongoing issues as of July 2025, with particular attention to the repeated violations of housing maintenance codes. The property, which was built in 1931 and is classified as a New Law Tenement, has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all pertaining to failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
These open violations, documented in April 2021, February 2022, March 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicate a persistent pattern of non-compliance with mandatory pest management reporting requirements. Additionally, there have been multiple complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) regarding illegal pet ownership at the property, specifically concerning the keeping of roosters as pets.
Three complaints were filed in 2021 and 2022 (on December 14, 2021; January 22, 2022; and April 5, 2022), all of which remain marked as "In Progress" with no recorded resolution as of the latest available data. The combination of unresolved animal complaints and multiple outstanding housing code violations suggests ongoing challenges with building management and maintenance compliance.
