AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 83 Bay 37th Street in Gravesend, owned by Soon Chong Chan, has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, though with some notable recent issues. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, despite having properly filed reports in previous years, including April 2023 and February 2022, which documented the eradication of bedbugs in all four units. The building's Department of Buildings record includes a single environmental control board violation from February 2019 regarding improper vehicle storage on the Benson Avenue side, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property's bedbug history shows a proactive approach to infestation management, with no units remaining infested as of the latest report filings. The gap between the last proper filing in 2023 and the open violation in 2024 suggests a potential oversight in compliance, though the building has previously demonstrated the ability to address such issues promptly. While the bedbug reporting violations are the most significant recent compliance issues on record, the building's overall history shows regular maintenance and reporting patterns, with no other documented safety concerns or violations.

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges, particularly pre-war construction without modern infrastructure.
