1648 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1648 80th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Longsheng Shao, has a history dating back to 1931. The property experienced a notable water leak incident in June 2019, with both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed regarding heavy flow conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem before closing the complaint.

More recently, in April 2021, a violation was issued for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was certified as closed later that month. The building underwent an investigation for an illegal conversion in July 2019, but inspectors were again unable to gain access during the inspection in March 2020, resulting in a determination of "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" in March 2020. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with the most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The four annual bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024 consistently showed no infestation issues. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in November 2011 yielded a passing result, indicating no rodent problems at that time. While there have been some maintenance issues in the past, particularly regarding water leaks and reporting requirements, the building's recent history suggests improved conditions, with no major complaints or violations recorded in the past two years.
