826 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 826 49th Street in Borough Park, owned by Ki Lam, has a history of maintenance and construction-related issues dating back several years. Most recently, the building underwent inspections for bedbug reporting compliance in 2023 and 2024, with both filings indicating no infested units, though the violations remain technically open.

Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple construction-related complaints, including allegations of illegal conversions and after-hours work, though inspections often could not gain access or found no violations warranting action. Significant building safety concerns were documented in March 2018, when violations were issued for failure to safeguard persons and property during construction, including the presence of an unsafe 4' x 18' hole in the floor, resulting in a $10,000 penalty, though records indicate this was resolved. The property has seen various construction activity between 2018 and 2019, with multiple permits issued for electrical, plumbing, and alteration work during this period.

There were also rodent inspections conducted in 2018, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with the most current filings showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting improved pest management practices. While historical complaints and violations suggest past concerns with construction safety and maintenance compliance, recent data shows improved adherence to regulatory requirements, particularly in terms of pest control reporting.
