1689 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The property at 1689 83rd Street in Bensonhurst is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sudan Wang. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2023, though recent filings indicate no infested units and successful eradication efforts of all four units. There have been two active complaints in 2024 related to illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms, both of which resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access during their attempts.

Between 2020 and 2022, multiple complaints regarding illegal curb cuts/driveways were filed, with one resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation, though notably, no penalties were imposed. Other complaints during this period regarding construction and permit issues were either closed without violations or investigators were unable to gain access for inspection. Looking at more recent developments, the bedbug reporting compliance appears to have been resolved, with the most recent report (2024) showing no infested units.

The building's history shows consistent attention to rodent control, with all inspections from 2011 onward passing. The property has maintained compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements in recent years, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest some administrative oversight issues. The active complaints regarding illegal conversions and hotel rooms in 2024 indicate potential ongoing issues with unauthorized modifications or uses of the property, though access was not granted to inspectors for verification.
