438 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 438 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Kin Wong and constructed in 1915, has experienced several notable maintenance events in recent years. The most significant recent issue occurred between April and May 2025, when the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received and inspected complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, resulting in violations that required the property owner to undertake corrections.
This incident appears to be the first major health and maintenance issue in recent history for the building. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2024. The building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 indicate zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero cases of re-infestation.
In April 2024, a violation was noted regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as the 2025 filing shows proper compliance, with the reporting period covering November 2023 to October 2024 showing no evidence of infestation. Prior to the recent garbage storage issue, the building's violation record was relatively clean, with no significant safety concerns reported. Now that the 2025 complaint has been officially closed by HPD, with the resolution indicating that the property owner was given a specified period to correct the violations.
