1261 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The property at 1261 71st Street in Dyker Heights is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Xiaoling Chen. The building has a consistent history of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2023 showing zero infested units and no eradications required. The building underwent several inspection periods where annual bedbug report compliance was monitored, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.

In early 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work, including concerns about illegal conversions, plumbing work, and general construction activities, though inspections consistently found no violations warranting penalties. Two specific Environmental Control Board violations were documented in January 2023 against TT&T Construction Inc. related to an active job site without proper documentation and excessive debris posing safety risks, with one violation resulting in a $2,500 penalty.

The building's most recent bedbug report filing in June 2024 shows improved compliance, with all previous infestation history appearing to be resolved, though this required multiple correction actions over the previous years. The property has maintained its status as a Heretofore Converted Class A building and continues to operate as a three-unit dwelling, though the string of complaints and violations in 2023 regarding unauthorized work and compliance issues suggests some level of ongoing management oversight needed to maintain building code compliance. The lack of recent complaints or violations in 2024 indicates improved regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
