470 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 470 68th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by David Cheng and constructed in 1931, has undergone several inspections and reported various incidents over the past few years. The building has consistently demonstrated effective pest management, with all four annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicating no infested units and successful eradication of any previously affected units.

However, there have been multiple similar violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations are now marked as closed. Most recently, in January 2025, the building came under scrutiny for two separate complaints related to illegal plumbing work and sprinkler/standpipe issues, with inspections conducted on January 21 and January 27, 2025, respectively.

While these complaints were subsequently closed with violation notices served, they represent the building's most recent code compliance issues as of July 2025. Looking back further, the building has maintained a relatively clean record, with the most significant past violation being the failure to file bedbug reports, which appears to have been rectified in recent reporting periods. The building's age and class suggest it retains many original architectural features typical of early 20th-century NYC tenements, though specific maintenance issues are not extensively documented in the available records.
