8402 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8402 20th Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, dating back to 1931 and classified as a New Law Tenement under the ownership of Sophia Ko. The most recent significant incidents in the building's record occurred in December 2022, when HPD responded to both plumbing (water supply) and appliance (electric/gas range) issues, which were resolved and closed within a week.

Prior to these incidents, an April 2021 violation was noted regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this was subsequently corrected. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2025, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the specified periods, indicating effective pest management practices. Currently, there is an active complaint from June 2025 regarding an illegal storefront or business sign/awning at an adjacent property (11214), though this is not directly related to the residential building.

The property's maintenance history shows prompt attention to reported issues, with all complaints from 2022 being addressed and closed within days. The absence of recurring maintenance issues or pest problems over recent years is noteworthy, suggesting stable living conditions for tenants. The building's age (94 years as of 2025) is typical for the neighborhood, and while it has experienced some maintenance issues, the prompt resolutions indicate responsible property management.
