2568 East 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family residential building at 2568 East 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Dan Shan Chen, was constructed in 1960 and is currently classified as a converted Class A building. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2022 through early 2023.

During this period, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including issues with bathroom mold (initially recorded as an approximately 3-square-foot problem), various problems with walls and ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens, and plumbing concerns. Notably, there were violations related to illegal locking devices, requiring removal of double cylinder key-operated locks, and safety concerns regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were eventually closed. The building's more recent history shows some equipment maintenance issues, with service requests regarding an electric/gas range in 2018, though no violations were found during the inspection.

Of particular relevance is an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though the most recent filing (for the period November 2021 to October 2022) indicated no infested units. The building has undergone some periodic inspections and investigations, including a response to an "After Hours Work – Illegal" complaint in December 2022, which was found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection. While many of the historical maintenance issues have been addressed and closed, the open bedbug reporting violation from 2024 represents the only currently outstanding compliance issue on record.
