2407 Benson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

This four-unit, two-story tenement building located at 2407 Benson Avenue in Gravesend, Brooklyn, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. The property, built in 1930 and currently owned by Wai Leung, has had persistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 under the Housing Maintenance Code.

In December 2020, the building faced significant tenant comfort issues when a heat and hot water complaint was reported for apartment 1R, leading to multiple violations including inadequate heat supply, lack of hot water, and roach infestation problems in that apartment, though some of these violations were later closed. An additional violation was recorded in August 2021 regarding self-closing door requirements for both the building and specific apartments.

Most recently, in early 2023, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion related to the property; however, the Department of Buildings inspector was unable to gain access to confirm the conditions, resulting in a "Final Attempt" notation on June 5, 2023. This building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning compliance with housing codes and timely remediation of identified issues, though the resolution of various violations indicates some measures have been taken to address tenant concerns.
