8124 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-unit, 2-story residential building at 8124 17th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Xiao Lei Jiang, has had several noteworthy incidents over the past few years. The property, constructed in 1925 and currently classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," experienced three significant Department of Buildings complaints between 2020-2022.

Two of these complaints in December 2021 concerned potential illegal conversions - one regarding an alleged illegal conversion and another related to suspected illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone - though inspections in 2022 either found no violations or resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. A third complaint in May 2020 regarding the lack of appropriate permits also resulted in access issues during the inspection. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control measures in recent years.

Between 2020-2024, there have been no reported infestations of bedbugs in any of the dwelling units, with all five annual reports (covering the periods from 2019-2024) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. Additionally, the property successfully passed a rodent inspection in December 2011. These pest-related inspections and reports suggest that while the building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding potential unauthorized modifications, the current state of pest management and cleanliness is being maintained at an acceptable standard, with no recent complaints or violations on record as of the latest available data.
