640 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 640 72nd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Duo Chen and built in 1928, has had several notable incidents in recent years, particularly concerning pest management. The property experienced multiple rodent-related complaints between 2023 and 2024, with three reports of conditions attracting rodents in September 2023, and a rat sighting in May 2024.
However, inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in both September 2023 and June 2024 found no violations, and the most recent rodent inspection in June 2024 passed successfully. The building has also been subject to repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with notices issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent filings from July 2024 show zero reported infested units for the period from November 2022 to October 2023.
Additional complaints in the vicinity of the building include two neighborhood issues recorded in 2022-2023: an illegal conversion complaint filed in March 2023 and an illegal curb cut complaint from March 2022, though both were either closed without violations or the inspector was unable to gain access. The building's bedbug reporting history since 2018 shows consistent maintenance practices, with no reported infestations or necessary eradications in the past five reporting periods, suggesting improved compliance with bedbug management requirements. While the property has faced multiple pest-related incidents, the proactive responses and passing inspections by health authorities indicate ongoing management of these challenges.
