114 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-family house at 114 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Geminiano Sanz and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing electrical issue reported in September 2024 regarding inadequate lighting, which generated both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

An inspector attempted to investigate this complaint but was unable to gain access to the property, and the case was ultimately closed due to lack of response from the owner, though HPD suggested resubmitting the complaint if the problem persisted. Additionally, the property has accumulated five active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, with one violation from 2022 being dismissed.

Between 2019 and 2020, there were three attempted inspections regarding suspected illegal conversions, all resulting in inspectors being unable to gain access, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filing periods from 2018 through the present (with the most recent filings covering 2023-2024, 2022-2023, 2021-2022, and 2020-2021 showing zero units affected or requiring eradication). The property is classified as a 2-family house with two stories, and while it has faced various compliance issues, particularly regarding electrical maintenance and inspection filings, it has not been subject to any major safety violations or recurring pest problems.
