2068 77th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 2068 77th Street in Bensonhurst, built in 1924 and currently owned by Karen Li, has experienced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly during 2018 when a cluster of complaints and violations emerged. Between August and September 2018, the building was subject to various reported issues including mold, pest infestations, interior damage to walls and ceilings, window problems, and appliance concerns, with several complaints designated as emergency situations. While these complaints were officially closed in October 2018, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to the property for inspections in many cases, and violations were issued for some complaints that were inspected.

The property has also been cited for bedbug reporting compliance violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though official records from 2024 indicate no infestations or eradications during the most recent reporting period. More recent inspections from 2019 revealed additional maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 2, including problems with bathroom fixtures, caulking, plaster surfaces, and encumbrances in common areas. A 2018 complaint regarding building stability was investigated but found no violations.

The building's record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations during this period. While the 2010 rodent inspections indicated some issues with rat activity, this appears to be an isolated incident compared to more recent conditions. The most pressing recent issues appear to have been addressed, though the number and variety of historical complaints suggest there have been persistent maintenance challenges in the building's history.
