2150 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 12-unit, 3-story tenement building at 2150 71st Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Arjan Coku, has a notable history since its construction in 1927. The building has consistently shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 through 2024, with all annual filings showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, though there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years (2022-2024) related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, which have since been closed.

More significantly, in 2019, the building faced serious issues with unauthorized construction work, specifically electrical installations, in Apartment 3C on the third floor. This led to two Environmental Control Board violations: one for the work itself (resulting in a $1,250 penalty) and another for failing to comply with a Commissioner's Order related to the first violation.

A subsequent violation was issued in December 2019 for failure to certify correction of the immediately hazardous Class 1 ECB violation, though this was later dismissed in April 2020 after payment of invoice #50414748. These construction-related violations represent the most significant safety concern on record, though they occurred over four years ago and were ultimately resolved. The building's age and history of maintaining bedbug compliance suggest regular oversight of pest management practices, with no current or recent indications of infestation problems.
