1637 76th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1637 76th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Chunyung Cheng, has experienced several significant issues over the past four years that warrant attention. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) related to non-compliance with New York City's Housing Maintenance Code requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations remaining unresolved as of the latest available data.

While the property has recently undergone rodent inspections, passing the most recent initial inspection in October 2024, there was a documented rat sighting in September 2024 that resulted in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection, though no violations were found at that time. The building's documented history indicates persistent code compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which are designed to maintain public health standards.

While the property appears to be taking steps to address rodent-related issues, as evidenced by the recent inspection and immediate response to the rat sighting, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent a longer-term pattern of regulatory non-compliance. The building, constructed in 1999, is classified as a "Class A" residential building in the HEREAFTER ERECTED category, and despite its relatively modern construction date, the property has experienced these recurring maintenance and regulatory compliance issues over multiple years.
