1824 76th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 1824 76th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Ivin Tang, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2024. Most notably, in April 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks in the building, including incidents of heavy flow and slow leaks, affecting various areas including the bathroom ceiling in apartment 1F.

These water-related issues were documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, with some violations being officially cited by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during inspections. The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including unsafe conditions related to lead-based paint hazards in apartment 1F, particularly affecting door frames, wainscoting, and window frames. Additional violations identified during 2024 inspections pertained to building security, including a defective front entrance door latch strike plate and self-closing door issues, as well as missing smoke detection equipment and carbon monoxide notice requirements in common areas.

The property has a mix of violation classifications ranging from Class A (immediate hazard) to Class C (less severe), though all violations were marked as "Closed" following inspections and subsequent repairs or corrections. A previous complaint from 2019 regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed but resulted in access denial for inspection. The building's recent history also shows no bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023), with zero cases reported or requiring eradication.
