2119 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2119 Bay Ridge Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Zhi Jun Lu, has undergone regular oversight by housing authorities since 2021 regarding its bedbug reporting compliance. The property, constructed in 1931 and designated as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building, has received four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Each of these violations from 2021 through 2024, while marked as "Closed," were specifically related to the bedbug reporting requirement under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. Most recently, the building filed its bedbug report on May 30, 2024, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, during which no infested units were reported, with the building showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. This suggests that while there have been repeated compliance issues regarding the reporting process itself, there has been no actual bedbug infestation reported in the past two years, indicating that the building may have effectively addressed the pest control issue even if the reporting process was initially problematic.

The building's recent history shows consistent attention to regulatory compliance, with the most recent bedbug report being submitted following an April 2024 inspection that resulted in a violation notice. The pattern of violations appears to be more administrative in nature, relating to reporting requirements rather than indicating any ongoing pest control issues, especially given the negative impact of infestation on resident experience. The property has maintained its A-classification status throughout this period, with no other significant violations or safety concerns noted in the available records.
