8434 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The two-story, three-unit building at 8434 17th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Yu Chu Wong, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a recent heat and hot water complaint in January 2025 that resulted in HPD's inability to gain access to the apartment for inspection. The building has an ongoing violation from April 2024 (and previous violations dating back to 2022-2023) regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.
These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest potential lapses in building management procedures. Heat and hot water issues were also reported as an emergency housing maintenance complaint in January 2025, though this appears to be a separate incident from the earlier HPD complaint. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance between 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, with no infested or eradicated units reported during those periods.
A rodent inspection in December 2011 passed without issues. In terms of zoning compliance, a complaint from August 2023 was investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While the building's age (built in 1925) is typical for the neighborhood, the recent heat and hot water issues and ongoing bedbug reporting violation represent the most significant recent concerns regarding resident comfort and safety.
