1961 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 1961 78th Street in Bensonhurst, currently owned by Kw78 Realty Inc, has several notable issues impacting resident conditions as of July 2025.
Most significantly, in December 2024, there were complaints about heat and hot water outages, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the apartments during their investigation. The building has persistent compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.
While these violations are classified as "A" violations (indicating they are non-hazardous), the repeated nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with compliance in this area. The building's age (built in 1924) and classification as a New Law Tenement are also noteworthy, though these factors are typical for this neighborhood and building type.
