1357 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 1357 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Cheng Qiu and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. However, there was a significant cluster of violations in August 2022 related to unpermitted construction work, specifically four complaints regarding work without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling, along with one related to construction beyond approved plans.

These complaints resulted in a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded by September 2022. The Department of Buildings issued an Environmental Control Board violation against the owner for unauthorized exterior structure work in August 2022, though this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's more recent history shows improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, though there were three bedbug report filing violations noted between 2021 and 2023, indicating missed deadlines for annual bedbug report submissions.

These violations, dating from 2021 through 2023, were subsequently closed. The most recent bedbug reports for the filing periods ending in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 show that the building has not experienced any infestations in the past two years. A permit for exterior work was issued in July 2018 and remains active, though it appears not to be directly related to the 2022 violations. The building's management history demonstrates a transition from multiple violations and construction issues in 2022 to improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and a lack of recent construction-related complaints, suggesting better regulatory adherence in recent years.
