452 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 452 68th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Yuk Lai, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1931. Most recently, in October 2024, the building faced rodent-related violations, with inspections showing failed compliance, though a later November inspection passed. The property has shown persistent pest issues, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in 2024, including a non-emergency pest complaint in October 2024. A significant cluster of issues was recorded in April 2024, including problems with water leaks, electrical outlets, and sanitation issues, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions.
More historical context reveals cold water and heating system failures were addressed in April 2022, along with various unsanitary conditions including pests. The building has multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection, including defective self-closing doors, a missing smoke detector, and an ongoing roach infestation in apartment 3R. There are also two encumbrances documented in October 2024 related to a shopping cart and a table in the public hall. Previous violations include a 2019 boiler inspection issue that was dismissed after a penalty was paid.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2015, with many initial inspections showing failed compliance, though some compliance inspections have passed. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), suggesting successful management of that particular issue. While the building's age and location may contribute to its maintenance challenges, the data shows ongoing efforts by regulatory agencies to address violations, though access issues have sometimes complicated inspections. The presence of multiple open violations as of October 2024, particularly regarding door repairs and pest control, indicates persistent maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
