1704 74th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The property at 1704 74th Street in Bensonhurst is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Chao Liang Wu. The building has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most pressing concern being an unresolved rodent infestation complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in December 2020, which remains in progress as of October 2023.

In 2021, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this violation is now marked as closed. More recently, in March 2023, there was a complaint filed regarding illegal conversion, which was investigated in May 2023; however, the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt, resulting in an inconclusive disposition.

On a more positive note, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with no documented infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any of the annual reporting periods. The most recent bedbug report filings from December 2024, December 2023, December 2022, and April 2021 all indicate zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices in this area. While the building has had some issues requiring attention, particularly regarding rodents and an access denial for the illegal conversion investigation, the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years represents a positive trend in one aspect of building maintenance.
