1724 74th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 1724 74th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Salvatore Sgroi, has experienced several notable events over the past few years that warrant attention. Most significantly, there appears to be a pattern of administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules. However, the most recent bedbug report filing in June 2024 covers the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements.

The building has also faced issues related to unauthorized renovations or modifications. A complaint was made in July 2021 regarding work without a permit in the occupied dwelling, though the inspection found no violation at that time. More recently, in January 2023, a violation was confirmed involving a split unit bolted to the facade with electrical wiring running from an apartment, for which a $120 penalty was imposed and resolved.

This violation, recorded with the Environmental Control Board, was addressed promptly, with no outstanding balance due. The building's history shows a mix of compliance issues and prompt resolution of violations, with the most recent developments indicating improved maintenance and reporting practices, particularly regarding pest management. The property has maintained its three-unit configuration since its construction in 1925, and despite the various violations on record, they appear to have been addressed through proper channels, with no outstanding violations remaining as of the latest available data.
