1236 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 1236 71st Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Xiuzhen Wu, has experienced several notable events since 2020. Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record with regard to bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the 2025 bedbug report showing zero infested units, which is consistent with the reports from 2024 and 2023.

However, the building has a documented history of needing to comply with the Bedbug Reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, with four violations issued for failure to file the annual report, though these were ultimately closed. In late 2021, the building experienced multiple construction-related complaints, including issues with excessive debris and concerns about construction beyond approved plans, as well as a complaint about building shaking or vibrating.

One significant incident during this period involved an Environmental Control Board violation for unsafe working conditions, where a masonry cutting grinder was being used without proper protective equipment, resulting in a $2,500 penalty against the contractor at the time, SPLEN CONSTRUCTION INC. All construction-related complaints were eventually closed without finding violations at the time of inspection, but represent a period of concern regarding building safety and maintenance. The building's age (built in 1930) and designation as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its classification, and it has generally been able to demonstrate compliance with recent housing maintenance requirements.
