876 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, three-unit building at 876 70th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Amer Habib, has experienced several notable incidents since 2019. Most recently, in 2025, there were two significant complaints - one regarding an illegal conversion and another concerning construction work beyond approved plans - though the inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings show no infestation issues, with the most recent report (2024) indicating zero infested units and no eradication needed. The property has also dealt with safety concerns, particularly in 2019 when the Department of Buildings identified issues with a supported scaffold that was not properly installed, though this violation was resolved with no penalties.

Prior to this, there were multiple access issues during inspections in 2022, including a gas utility referral, zoning complaint, and work without a permit complaint. The building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing no actual infestation problems, with the 2024 report covering the previous two years' activity and documenting zero affected units. Since 2019, there have been no further scaffold-related concerns, suggesting an improvement in safety compliance.
