1761 81st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit building at 1761 81st Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Hiu Yeung, has a notable history of compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been four consecutive class A housing maintenance code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

These open violations, which remain unresolved as of April 2025, suggest ongoing non-compliance with this essential housing safety requirement. In addition to the bedbug reporting violations, there was a significant safety issue in April 2020 when the building received a complaint regarding blocked egress, specifically mentioning an obstructed exit passageway with a locked gate and garbage cans.

This led to a violation notice and a penalty of $1,250 from the Environmental Control Board, though this particular violation was later resolved. The building's earlier history appears more positive, with a passed rodent inspection conducted in late 2011. The pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years, now entering its fifth consecutive year, represents the most pressing ongoing compliance issue for this property.
