1716 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

This three-story, three-unit building at 1716 78th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Jieping Huang, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1920, with the most significant issues occurring in recent years. A major incident occurred in December 2020 when tenants reported a heat and hot water outage, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after the complaint was filed. The building has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023-2024, including a failed roof access requirement (Class C) and an unauthorized rear yard gazebo structure (Class A) identified in December 2023.

The property had various safety notice requirements in September 2023 that were subsequently addressed, including the installation of smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, as well as the proper display of building registration information. The building's maintenance record shows attention to compliance matters, with violations being closed out, such as the defective vinyl siding on the rear facade (Class B) noted in December 2023. A notable bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported in the most recent filing period (2022-2023), following a period in 2022-2023 when three units were treated for bedbugs.

A rodent inspection in 2011 showed compliance, passing the inspection. The most recent violation related to the fire escape system (Class B) from September 2023 required repairs to brackets between the second and third stories. A construction complaint from December 2023 regarding unauthorized alterations could not be investigated due to lack of access during inspection attempts in March 2024. The building's records demonstrate ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts, with most recent violations being addressed through proper channels.
