1532 West 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1532 West 11th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Andy Chu, has experienced several significant incidents since 2020 that require attention. Most notably, in mid-2020, the property faced serious unauthorized conversion issues when inspections revealed an illegally occupied cellar unit containing two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and kitchen facilities, which resulted in two $2,500 Environmental Control Board violations.

These violations prompted multiple violation notices between September and October 2020 for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions. While these issues were ultimately resolved through proper permitting (permit sequence number 340756122 was issued on September 18, 2020), they represent a significant safety and compliance concern from the building's recent history. The building has also faced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

From 2022 through 2024, the property received three consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations (March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2025 show no active infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting proper pest management practices are currently being observed. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending 2024-10-31 indicates zero affected units, which is a positive development. The property has maintained a documented history of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the resolution of previous violations, though the pattern of violations suggests initial lapses in regulatory compliance.
