1765 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, three-unit building at 1765 Bay Ridge Parkway in Bensonhurst, owned by Ling La Chan, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, particularly in late 2023. Most concerning was a cluster of emergency complaints in December 2023 regarding safety and unsanitary conditions, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and mold, as well as issues with broken window guards. While these complaints were inspected by HPD and no violations were issued, they suggest potential lapses in building safety systems.

In December 2023, two Class C violations were issued related to improper handling of lead-based paint records and notification procedures on the third floor, though these were subsequently closed. The building has a history of regulatory compliance challenges, including three consecutive years (2021-2023) of failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, though no infestations were reported in any of the filings. There have also been multiple complaints about illegal conversions and work without permits, particularly between 2018-2023, though inspections were either unable to gain access or found no violations.

Most recently, in October 2023, the building received a $312 violation for improper maintenance of the sidewalk curb, which has since been resolved. Notably, all bedbug reporting for the building from 2019 through 2025 shows zero infestation cases, indicating effective pest management despite the reporting compliance issues. The building's age (dating back to 1899) and the nature of the violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance across various building safety and maintenance requirements.
