2017 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 2017 70th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by John Chee, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced several noteworthy events over recent years. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infestation or eradication incidents.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been minimal, though two separate violations were issued in 2022 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and there remains an open Class C violation from 2020 concerning a self-closing door mechanism in Apartment 2F. Recent issues warranting attention include a heating/hot water complaint in late 2020 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, resulting in no violations being issued. More recently, in 2023, there was a gas utility referral complaint to the Department of Buildings that required multiple inspection attempts before access could not be gained.

Additionally, there is currently an active violation issued in June 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection report. The building's rodent inspections in 2013 passed successfully, and there have been no reported rodent issues since then. While the building has had some violations and complaints over the years, the absence of recent bedbug incidents and rodent issues suggests effective pest management practices in place.
