562 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The two-family home at 562 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Tian Lu, has experienced persistent pest control challenges over the past few years. Most notably, from 2023 through mid-2025, there were multiple documented rodent-related complaints, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 confirming ongoing rat activity despite bait applications. The property faced significant sanitary issues in August 2023, particularly in the first apartment (Apartment 1), where violations were documented for infestations of vermin (including mice, roaches, and fleas), water leaks, and damaged plastered surfaces.
Additional maintenance concerns included a heavy water leak complaint in December 2024 and various rodent-related issues throughout 2024-2025. The building's history also reveals several compliance issues regarding safety equipment and unauthorized modifications. There are three active ECB violations (from 2021 and 2024) related to an unauthorized electric roll gate installation, with associated penalties totaling $3,000.
Various building code violations remain open from 2023 inspections, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and plaster repairs. The property has a pattern of inspection access issues, as noted in multiple complaint investigations. While the building has not had documented bedbug infestations since 2022, the persistent rodent problems and various maintenance violations depict a property requiring ongoing attention to basic habitability standards.
