1754 77th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1754 77th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Wendi Zheng, has faced several recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most significant recent problems occurring in early 2025. There are current open violations from December 2024 affecting apartment 2RE, including issues with mold in the bathroom, radiator repairs needed, and multiple concerns regarding door security including a broken fire-rated self-closing door and missing safety features.

During 2025, there were verified violations related to unsanitary conditions involving pests, though a separate mold complaint from January 2025 was not found to violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with similar complaints recorded in 2021, and has undergone regular inspection for bedbugs, consistently reporting zero infested units from 2022 through mid-2025. The property has also experienced intermittent heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in December 2024 and January 2025, though investigations found no violations in the latter case.

Safety compliance concerns have been noted in recent inspections, including the need for repairs to various doors and windows, particularly in the December 2024 inspections which identified multiple violations in apartment 2RE. Notably, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, showing responsible management through regular filings despite the lack of reported infestations. The most recent rodent inspection in 2019 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," though a previous inspection in 2011 had passed, suggesting inconsistent handling of pest control measures over the years.
