1242 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
Located in Dyker Heights, 1242 71st Street is a two-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Wai Sum Tam Lau and containing three residential units. The building's recent inspection and violation history reveals an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with NYC Housing Maintenance Code, with an open violation as of April 2024, though previous violations from 2021 to 2023 have been closed.
Notably, the bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2022 show no reported infestations, with zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units documented during these periods. A standing water complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in August 2018, though this was resolved within a week.
The building received an exterior work permit in August 2019 (job number 322009474) which was issued and documented in the Department of Buildings records. While the open violation regarding bedbug reporting is a notable concern, the completed inspections and lack of documented bedbug infestations in recent years suggest proper management of this issue when reports are filed.
