840 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

840 Bay Ridge Avenue, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and owned by Li And W Realty Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, multiple complaints resulted in housing code violations, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, plumbing problems in various fixtures (sink, bathtub/shower, and toilet), flooring issues, and concerns about paint/plaster conditions.

The building has documented open violations from June 2024 specifically related to Apartment 2F, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint requirements, a water leak affecting ceiling tiles, smoke detector compliance, radiator and riser painting needs, and issues with bathroom fixtures. The property has a history of plumbing and maintenance concerns, with 2025 complaints including issues with slow water leaks, mold, and various plumbing fixtures. Additionally, there were three consecutive complaints about work being conducted without the proper permits in late 2023, though inspections did not reveal any violations.

The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges that are generally addressed through HPD inspections, with some violations still appearing as open in the most recent records. Notably, the building has reported no bedbug infestations during the most recent filing period from November 2022 to October 2023. Recent inspection activity suggests that while many issues are being identified and addressed, there remains a pattern of recurring maintenance concerns that require attention.
