1280 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located at 1280 85th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Jin Zeng, has been in operation since 1924. The property has consistently failed to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting, receiving four consecutive violations from 2021 to 2024, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.

These violations indicate a recurring non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements, though it's worth noting that this does not necessarily indicate an ongoing bedbug infestation in the building. The building underwent three inspections between April and September 2021 in response to complaints regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use and an alleged illegal conversion, all of which resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access for verification.

These complaints were subsequently closed, but the inability to conduct inspections raises some concerns about the building's use compliance during that period. On a more positive note, the property has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, passing both the 2018 and 2021 inspections. While the building's age and history show typical urban maintenance challenges, the most significant ongoing issue appears to be the failure to submit required bedbug reports in a timely manner, as evidenced by the open Housing Maintenance Code violations.
