Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

7208 New Utrecht Avenue is a two-family residential building located in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ping Hu. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over several years, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2018-2021, particularly during December 2018, December 2020, and November 2021, though records indicate that heat and hot water were typically restored before inspections could confirm resolution, or that access to apartments was not granted for inspection.

More recently, in 2024, the building has faced several regulatory matters including two tenant safety inspections in May and July 2024, both of which found no violations at the time of inspection. There were also issues related to unauthorized business signage on the property in early 2024, resulting in violation notices and a penalty of $620 for an illegally installed convenience store smoke shop sign/awning, though this violation was resolved. The building's history also shows some maintenance attention in 2011 for rodent control, with bait applied during inspections in August and September of that year. The property's most recent regulatory and inspection activity has been focused on signage and safety inspections, with no major recent violations affecting building systems or tenant services.
