Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 26 Bay 17th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Soo Tam, has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no documented infestations or eradication efforts required in any reporting period from 2019 through 2024. The property has submitted timely annual bedbug reports, most recently in December 2024, reflecting a clean slate with zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period. The building experienced one Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been filed properly. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in October 2024 regarding work without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, but this complaint was investigated the same day and no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building, constructed in 1994 and classified as HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A, has otherwise maintained an uneventful history, with no other significant violations or complaints on record, and appears to be adequately managed in terms of pest control and building maintenance requirements.
