1213 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1213 70th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Kai Jian Zhang, has a notable history of bedbug-related violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open violation for failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
This pattern of non-compliance has persisted for several years, with similar open violations recorded in March 2023 and February 2022, along with one closed violation from April 2021. The building's bedbug reporting history shows a somewhat concerning pattern, with the 2021 filing period (November 2019 - October 2020) indicating initial infestations in all three units, though these were subsequently eradicated. However, the report notes that all units had undergone re-infestation by the end of the filing period.
While the building was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a "New Law Tenement," it's important to note that bedbug violations, though serious, are not necessarily indicative of improper building maintenance or unsafe conditions, as they often reflect the challenges of pest management faced by many urban buildings. Nevertheless, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to the HPD requirements. The most recent open violation in April 2024 is particularly noteworthy as it occurred after the initial infestation remediation period.
