1720 West 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 1720 West 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Stacy Lee, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, in December 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water, electrical outlets/switches, and window frame problems, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to complete necessary inspections in each case.

These complaints remained unresolved as of June 2025 and were formally closed approximately six months after being reported. A notable administrative violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to submit the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with all reports (most recent filing in December 2024) showing zero infested dwelling units, eradicated units, or re-infestations. While the building's overall bedbug management appears exemplary, the recent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water and electrical problems, merit attention as they potentially impact resident comfort and safety. The property's age (built in 1926) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historical status as an older Brooklyn residential building.
