1758 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1758 79th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Lyz Property LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant events occurring in 2023. Between March and June 2023, there were multiple service requests including electrical wiring problems (resolved within two days), heat/hot water issues (an emergency complaint, inspected and found without violations), and concerns about an outlet cover (which HPD couldn't access to inspect). The building underwent a comprehensive safety review in May 2023, resulting in multiple Class A violations related to safety notices and building maintenance requirements.

These included missing smoke detector notices, gas leak procedure notices, carbon monoxide detector requirement notices, and maintenance issues with self-closing doors at the public hall. During the same period, there were also bedbug reporting violations noted. More recent records indicate improved compliance with pest management requirements, as shown in the 2024 bedbug report which documented no infested units and confirmed complete eradication of bedbugs from all units.

The building's most recent inspection in April 2024 also noted a violation regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report requirement. An illegal commercial use complaint was filed in March 2023, but upon inspection in July 2023, no violation was found. The property's rodent inspection history shows a passed inspection in 2011, and while various safety and maintenance violations have been documented over the years, most have been resolved within reasonable timeframes. Notably, there have been no documented repeat infestations for multiple consecutive years, suggesting effective pest management practices by the current ownership.
