821 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 821 72nd Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Qing Li Zheng, has an extensive history of pest-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2024, the property experienced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of mold and pests, though inspections by HPD resulted in no violations being issued.

Prior to this, the building displayed concerning rodent activity, with documented rat sightings in both June 2023 and an initial inspection in July 2023, though a subsequent compliance inspection in October 2023 showed passed results. The property has open violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though a 2021 report indicated no infested dwelling units.

The building's recent inspection history shows a pattern of pest management challenges, with the most current records indicating both emergency and non-emergency unsanitary condition complaints related to mold and pests in 2024. The property underwent rodent inspections with mixed results between 2018 and present, suggesting some level of ongoing monitoring and enforcement. While the building appears to have maintained basic compliance requirements in some areas, the persistent nature of pest-related complaints and violations over multiple years indicates an area of continued concern, with the most recent issues emerging just prior to the end of 2023.
