8747 26th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-unit, two-story building at 8747 26th Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Joseph Deng, was constructed in 1935 and has undergone conversion to a Class A multiple dwelling. The property has a history of maintenance violations, with the most significant cluster occurring in 2021 when multiple Class A violations were issued during a September 7 inspection.

These violations primarily concerned safety and regulatory requirements, including the need to post and maintain notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and the proper display of the building's registration number. Additionally, there were issues with installing self-closing doors in Apartment 2F and a failure to provide proper inspection certificate display near the mailboxes. A recurring concern has been the bedbug reporting requirement, with violations noted in April 2021 and February 2022, though the most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 show no infested units, indicating successful compliance since then.

The building's recent bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows consistent compliance with no reported infestations during the past five filing periods, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has demonstrated improvement in regulatory compliance over time, with the September 2021 violations being certified as corrected by November 2021. The building's age and history of violations suggest a period of adjustment to regulatory requirements, though the recent bedbug reporting record and resolved violations indicate current compliance with housing maintenance standards.
