970 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-story, three-unit building at 970 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Jinyun Lin, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2020. Most recently, in 2024 and 2023, the building received Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent report from May 2025 indicates no infested units.

In 2021, multiple safety-related violations were recorded, including the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirement notices, and self-closing door mechanisms in common areas and apartments, with some of these violations remaining open as of April 2021. Between 2020-2021, the building underwent significant work that triggered multiple complaints and violations, including issues related to unauthorized construction work and electrical system modifications.

These incidents resulted in Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $3,750 for work without permit and work not conforming to approved construction documents, though these have since been resolved. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with the most recent report showing no current infestations or eradication efforts required. The owner appears to have addressed many of the building's safety and maintenance requirements, though some 2021 violations related to tenant notifications and door mechanisms were noted as open or completed towards the end of that inspection cycle.
