1243 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
The three-unit residential building at 1243 70th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Jiaming Chen, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly during late 2023 and early 2024. Notably, there were three emergency heat and hot water complaints in November 2023, with two violations issued, and a cooking gas complaint in late November that was investigated but resulted in no violations.
A significant inspection on March 28, 2024 revealed multiple violations including issues with door hardware in apartment 2F (both entrance and apartment door latch problems), instances of encumbrances in the public hall, and several critical safety notice requirements that were not being met. These include requirements for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedure notices, all of which are classified as Class A violations indicating higher severity. Additionally, there is an open violation regarding a mice infestation in apartment 2F.
More recent developments show some progress, as of April 2024, with an inspection noting only one open violation related to posting housing information guide notices. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows no recorded infestations in any unit across three consecutive reporting periods, indicating that while there have been various maintenance issues, pest control has been successfully managed. The current status as of April 2024 shows a mix of open and closed violations, with particular attention needed to address the multiple safety notice requirements and door hardware issues that have been documented.
