1657 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1657 West 9th Street in Gravesend, owned by Rui Fang Li, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law Tenement.

The building has experienced recurring issues with mandatory bedbug reporting compliance over the years 2021-2024, with four separate violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though no infested units were reported in any of the filings during this period, with records showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units from 2019 through 2024. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in September 2019, during which time multiple safety concerns were identified, including encumbrances in public halls (Class B violation), self-closing door issues at the entrance to apartment 2R (Class C violation), missing smoke detector requirement notice near the mailbox (Class A violation), an unauthorized lock at the scuttle hatch in the second-story public hall (Class C violation), and a problematic key-operated lock on an east-south door to an egress window in apartment 2R (Class C violation).

All these 2019 violations were subsequently certified as corrected by October 2019. A single building permit was issued in March 2020, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
