866 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 866 51st Street in Borough Park, owned by Yudi Huang and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, with open citations from March and April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The building's recent history is particularly marked by significant structural and safety concerns, with multiple complaints recorded in 2025.

These include persistent building shaking/vibrating issues (with complaints documented in April and May 2025), problems with sidewalk shed conditions, and unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling. Three complaints regarding building stability were recorded in April 2025, though inspectors found no violations at the time of inspection. Additionally, there were several complaints related to unpermitted work and debris issues in the first half of 2025, though most were noted as having no violation warranted upon inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows efforts to address pest control, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting period from 2020-2021, during which no infested units were reported and all treated units were noted as eradicated, though with subsequent reporting violations. While the bedbug situation appears to have been previously managed, the current open violations suggest non-compliance with reporting requirements. The building's age and current compliance issues, particularly concerning structural concerns and pest reporting, warrant attention to the property's recent maintenance history.
