440 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 440 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Mei Mok and constructed in 1915 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several notable events over recent years that warrant attention. Most significantly, the building has persistent and repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 all related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

Although there was one closed violation in 2021 regarding the same reporting requirement, the building's record shows an unusual focus on this specific regulatory compliance issue. Looking at the building's infrastructure and safety, there was a B-class violation in 2018 concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway, which was properly addressed and certified as corrected by July 2018.

Notably, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2020 showed no documented infestations, with records indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during that period, suggesting that while the reporting compliance has been problematic, the actual infestation history has been relatively contained based on the available data. The most recent open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which have persisted for multiple years despite previous compliance efforts, represent the most significant ongoing regulatory concern for this property as of 2025.
