1757 West 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, three-unit building at 1757 West 2nd Street in Gravesend was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Hoan Phuong. The property has undergone several significant events over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there were two building violations related to unauthorized construction work in 2018 involving the removal of a garage door and alteration of walls and windows, though these were resolved with no penalties imposed.

In 2019, there was a notable safety-related issue with a fire escape that resulted in inspections, though no violations were found. That same year, the building experienced a complaint regarding structural stability, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the inspection attempts. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, with all six filings (most recent in February 2025) showing zero infested units, indicating effective management of this potential issue.

Two bedbug-related violations were issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding incomplete annual reporting, though these were not classified as serious. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with housing maintenance codes, with two annual bedbug report violations recorded in 2022 and 2023 (both class A violations). A building safety issue in 2019 regarding an illegally fastened double-cylinder lock on the entrance door was addressed and certified as corrected. The building's violation and complaint history suggest periodic issues requiring attention, but recent years show improved compliance with housing regulations, particularly in terms of pest management.
