1740 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 1740 East 4th Street in Gravesend, owned by Er Hao Lan, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced persistent administrative challenges over recent years, particularly concerning bedbug reporting compliance.

Since 2021, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. While the building filed a bedbug report for the period from November 2018 to October 2019 indicating no infestation (0 infested units, 0 eradicated units, 0 re-infestation), there has been no subsequent reporting compliance. The building has also encountered two violations for failing to file mandatory External Low Pressure Inspection reports in 2021 and 2022, both of which were dismissed in September 2023.

These inspection failures occurred between April and June 2023 and were ultimately dismissed through the CIANOW CRM process. On the positive side, the building has obtained two work permits in 2020 and 2021 (permit sequence numbers 01 and 02) for external work, suggesting some level of maintenance and compliance efforts are ongoing. While the building has experienced numerous regulatory challenges, it's important to note that many of these violations are administrative in nature rather than directly related to resident safety or habitability.
