2543 West 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 8-unit, 3-story residential building at 2543 West 16th Street in Gravesend, owned by Yanping Zhong, has been in operation since 2007 and has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. Notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building received four class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These violations, though successfully closed in each instance, indicate an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. However, the most recent bedbug report filings for the periods ending October 2024 and October 2025 show no instances of bedbug infestations, with the records indicating zero infested units, eradicated units, and re-infested units in both reporting periods.

The building's records show significant improvement in bedbug management practices over the past year, with successful compliance in filing accurate reports and maintaining a bedbug-free status. It's worth noting that while the previous violations represent a historical pattern of administrative non-compliance, the recent filings indicate an effective response to the reporting requirement, though the building has had a history of requiring regulatory intervention to ensure compliance.
