Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2529 West 17th Street in Gravesend, owned by Shanliang Ren, has had a consistent pattern of bedbug-related regulatory oversight since 2021. The building, constructed in 2008, has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the New York City Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though all these violations are now closed. Most recently, the 2024 bedbug report, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicates that no units experienced infestations during this period, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. This pattern suggests that while there were potentially administrative oversights regarding report filings in previous years, the management appears to have resolved these compliance issues, as evidenced by the most recent filing being completed on May 16, 2024. The building's relatively young age and small number of units, combined with the most recent report showing no infestations, indicates that while there were past compliance issues, the current bedbug status appears stable.
