98 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 98 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Liumei Deng, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a pattern of lighting problems. Between July and September 2024, there were three documented instances of "no lighting" complaints, all of which resulted in HPD violations.

A separate heating issue affecting the entire building was reported and temporarily resolved in December 2023. The property has also undergone important safety and compliance inspections in late 2024, resulting in several violations that were certified in December 2024, including requirements to properly post notices regarding gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information in the public hall.

Additionally, there was one historical DOB violation from November 2019 related to boiler inspection reporting, though this was dismissed after the payment of a $1,000 penalty. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reporting periods from 2020 through 2024 showing zero affected units, and the property passed a rodent inspection conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2022. The building's age (constructed in 1931) is noteworthy, and while the recent safety violations suggest some oversight in maintaining current safety requirements, the documentation indicates that the owner has generally responded to emergency situations when they arise.
