414 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 414 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Xiao Wang and constructed in 1915, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant occurring in May 2023. During this period, multiple complaints were filed, including reports of unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical problems (lighting), and water leak issues, with violations specifically documented for heavy water flow.

The building currently has three open violations from a May 2023 inspection of Apartment 2NDFLO, including requirements to repaint specified walls in the kitchen and public hall, and to repair defective porcelain enamel in the bathtub. Prior maintenance history shows recurring electrical issues, including a January 2022 complaint about no lighting, though no violations were issued in that case. The building's recent history reveals some concerning patterns, including three separate bedbug report filings between 2021 and 2024, though all reports indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during their respective periods.

An August 2023 complaint regarding illegal after-hours work was investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the property has had multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, it's worth noting that in all cases where inspections were conducted, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in several instances, including the recent 2023 complaints about pests, lighting, and wall conditions. The most recent bedbug report from January 2025 indicates the building has had no bedbug infestations in the previous reporting period (2023-2024).
