1655 74th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204
The 3-unit, 2-story building at 1655 74th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Takyu Lam, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues between 2020-2022. The property, which was built in 1920 and classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A, saw multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems in late 2020, with emergency incidents reported in December and October that year. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the alleged conditions during multiple attempts.
Additionally, pest-related sanitary issues were reported in October 2020, with similar access issues preventing proper inspection. There were also three complaints in September 2020 regarding work without permits and gas hook-up concerns, though inspections were unsuccessful due to access issues. A notable Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded in February 2022, related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was later closed.
On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 (most recent filing in December 2024) showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This indicates effective pest management in recent years. The most recent inspection and violation records show no pending issues, though the historical complaints from 2020-2022 suggest there were significant maintenance challenges during that period, particularly regarding access for inspections and heat/hot water systems.
