1552 West 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 1552 West 10th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Shao Ping Li, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in early 2024. An inspection on February 21, 2024, revealed multiple Class B and C violations specifically affecting the second-floor apartment (2F), including serious concerns such as visible mold conditions in multiple locations (approximately 5-20 square feet in window recesses and bathroom areas), excessively hot water exceeding 130 degrees at all fixtures, and the absence of required carbon monoxide detectors.

The building also faced structural and safety violations, such as an illegally fastened padlocked gate at the front, a door preventing self-closure in the vestibule, and non-compliant self-closing doors in the entrance area, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by March-April 2024. The property has a documented history of pest-related issues, with 311 service requests in late 2023-early 2024 related to unsanitary conditions and rodent sightings, though no violations were issued following inspections.

While the building maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations during the 2022-2023 and 2019-2020 reporting periods, there were two separate violations in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 for failure to file the annual bedbug report, suggesting some administrative oversights in compliance with housing maintenance codes. The most recent documented occupancy period from 2022-2023 reported no infested or re-infested units, and previous reports from 2019-2020 showed similar results.
