1642 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

Bensonhurst Plaza is a 6-story, 21-unit Class A multiple dwelling building located at 1642 West 9th Street in Gravesend, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Cindy Huang. The building has experienced recurring issues with plumbing and water supply systems, with three emergency plumbing complaints regarding water supply problems in 2025 and 2022, along with various plumbing-related complaints in previous years. Notable health and safety concerns include a 2023 incident involving both pest infestations and mold issues, for which violations were issued, and an open violation regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5C reported the same year.

The building has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance issues, including a 2021-2022 infestation of mice in apartment 6A and plumbing problems that affected multiple units. The property experienced administrative challenges in 2019 concerning parking accessibility requirements, leading to environmental control board violations, though these were resolved without penalties. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented over the years, including issues with smoke detector requirements and maintenance notifications, though many have been subsequently resolved.

The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units reported. Recent permit activity includes two issued permits in early 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement work at the property. While the building's age is relatively recent (21 years), the recurring nature of plumbing issues and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance protocols.
