2050 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The three-unit, two-story New Law tenement at 2050 78th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Gary Chen and constructed in 1920, has grappled with recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance over recent years. Most notably, there is an open Class A housing maintenance code violation from April 2024 related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern established since 2021, though previous violations from 2022 and 2023 have been closed.
Despite these reporting discrepancies, the building's official bedbug report for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 shows no infested units, indicating that while the reporting requirements have not been consistently met, there have been no documented infestations during that specific timeframe. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in July 2019 regarding an alleged illegal conversion of the property, which was investigated in October 2019, though access was denied during the inspection.
This complaint was ultimately closed without resolution of the original concern. While the building's records show some regulatory challenges, particularly with respect to bedbug reporting compliance, the actual infestation history according to official records appears to be clean, with the most recent bedbug-related violation remaining the only open issue as of April 2024.
