The two-story, three-unit building at 1157 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Zhi Wei Wang, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding rodent problems. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, with the latest inspections in January 2025 and November 2024 both resulting in failure for "Other Reasons" in the rodent inspections.
The building also has a concerning history of illegal construction activities, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2025 regarding work without permits in an occupied multiple dwelling. Most recently, in August 2024, two significant Environmental Control Board violations were issued, including removal of fire stopping materials and unauthorized construction work, resulting in penalties totaling $15,030. In terms of safety equipment, the building experienced a cluster of complaints in September 2023 regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, although no violations were found upon inspection.
The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or re-infested units in any of the annual reports from 2021 through 2024. Notably, there have been repeated issues regarding bedbug report filing compliance from 2021 through 2024, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's history shows consistent attempts by inspectors to address various complaints, though access issues have sometimes prevented thorough inspections, particularly regarding the illegal conversion complaints.
