1460 84th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-family residence at 1460 84th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Kai Koey Cheng, has a documented history primarily centered around two complaints filed in June 2020. Both complaints, recorded on June 2, 2020, raised concerns about illegal conversions and unauthorized modifications, with one specifically mentioning potential changes in occupancy use.

The Department of Buildings responded to these complaints with inspections; while one complaint regarding illegal work was investigated on June 10, 2020, the inspector determined that no violations warranted action at that time. The other complaint, filed under the illegal conversion category, was subject to two final inspection attempts on November 24, 2020, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the property.

Of particular note is that these complaints were all filed during the summer of 2020, a period when many New Yorkers were grappling with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, though no direct connection between the pandemic and these complaints can be established from the available data. Importantly, no subsequent complaints or violations have been recorded against this property in the nearly five years since these incidents, suggesting that the building has remained free of documented issues since late 2020. The two-family house, constructed in 1930, maintains its original building class designation despite the complaints regarding unauthorized modifications.
