1528 West 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-unit, two-story brownstone at 1528 West 11th Street in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring administrative violations and complaints in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports, though all these violations have since been closed.

Of particular concern, two complaints were filed in July 2020 regarding potential illegal modifications to the building's unit configuration, with one complaint specifically about construction work without permits in an occupied multiple dwelling. While the Department of Buildings investigation on July 2, 2020, found no violations at the time of inspection, a subsequent complaint about illegal conversion in December 2020 could not be fully investigated as the inspector was unable to gain access, though this complaint was marked as closed later that year.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of administrative oversights, particularly regarding pest management compliance, though it's worth noting that none of these violations directly indicate current resident health or safety concerns. The property's age and classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it has passed through various regulatory frameworks over its nearly century-long existence, and the current ownership under Shew Lim has maintained the property through this period while addressing most identified issues.
