1917 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The four-unit residential building at 1917 72nd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Yafen Chen, has documented a recurring issue with bedbug report compliance over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) requirements, with similar violations noted in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021.

These persistent violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, though they pertain specifically to administrative reporting rather than direct resident health concerns. The two-story, 1925 building, which is classified as a converted Class A building, had one unrelated complaint in 2020 regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut or driveway, though this complaint was investigated and no violation was warranted at the time of inspection.

Notably, there are no recorded serious safety violations or critical maintenance issues in the available data, and the bedbug report violations, while concerning from a regulatory perspective, should be understood as administrative rather than indicative of an active infestation, given the nature of the violation. The current status of the bedbug report violations remains open as of the latest inspection in April 2024.
