1732 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1732 71st Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Meilan Zou and constructed in 1925, has a notable history of regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most prominently, the building has experienced repeated violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with four consecutive citations from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent report filed in May 2025 indicates no infested units during the 2023-2024 period.

Two complaints regarding possible illegal conversion of the property were filed in 2022 and 2023, both of which were closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access during their second final attempts. While these issues warrant attention, it's worth noting that the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in July 2017, indicating compliance with that particular health and safety requirement.

The most recent available data shows that the building has resolved its bedbug reporting compliance issues as of May 2025, with no infested or previously infested units reported in the most recent filing period. The property's two illegal conversion complaints remain significant on the record, though neither resulted in confirmed violations. The building's age and classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it has undergone typical regulatory scrutiny for its type, though the pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years indicates previous administrative oversight challenges.
