3821 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 3821 Kings Highway in Flatlands, owned by Xiaoling Chen and constructed in 1940, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most significantly, the building has faced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with four consecutive annual notifications between 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory bedbug reports, though the most recent 2024 report shows no infested units.

In 2019, the building experienced multiple safety and maintenance violations primarily affecting Apartment 1, including defective window guards, improper door closures, and security concerns, with several of these issues marked as open violations. The building underwent construction work in late 2018 through early 2019, which prompted multiple complaints and violations regarding work not conforming to approved plans, though these issues were eventually resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's most recent bedbug report filing from June 2024 covers the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating no reported infestations during that time.

There were also some construction-related complaints in late 2018 regarding adjacent buildings not being properly protected, and concerns about construction work going beyond approved plans, though inspections found no violations warranted at the time. Multiple permits were issued between late 2018 and 2019 for various construction work, including plumbing and electrical modifications. While the building has experienced recurring issues requiring attention, many violations have been addressed and closed, and the most recent bedbug report indicates improved compliance with reporting requirements.
