820 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

820 50th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and owned by Kris Liu. Built in 1920 and currently classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" building, this property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent problem, with official observations of rat activity in late 2022, though a subsequent December 2022 inspection resulted in a passing compliance status.

The building has also faced bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from December 2023 documenting all three units as infested, though these were subsequently eradicated. The property underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2020-2022, including issues with ceiling plaster and paint, pest infestations, and unsafe electrical conditions. In August 2020, a basement apartment was found to have serious problems requiring attention, including plaster and paint violations, pesticide issues, sewage concerns, and electrical problems.

The building's administration has maintained records showing compliance with various inspection requirements, including annual bedbug reporting and rodent inspections. While there were complaints about illegal conversion and lack of permits in mid-2020, inspection access was not granted. Despite these various maintenance challenges, records indicate that most violations have been addressed and closed, though the recurring nature of some issues suggests ongoing management needs.
