7404 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 7404 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Lilan Wu, has experienced several significant events since 2021. The property, built in 1939 and classified as a two-family house, has been under scrutiny for various compliance issues, particularly relating to unauthorized commercial use of space.

Notable incidents include multiple complaints about illegal storefront signage (2022-2025), and a concerning period in 2021 when the first floor was allegedly occupied by an unauthorized adult physical culture establishment, including massage services, which resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $27,500, though some were later resolved with no balance due. The building has also faced several allegations of construction and occupancy violations between 2021-2024, including illegal conversions and work done without proper permits.

While most of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations found upon inspection, there was one instance in 2024 where a violation related to illegal signage resulted in an Oath Violation being served. More recent concerns include a 2022 complaint about construction contrary to approved plans, and a 2023 certificate of occupancy complaint, though both were inspected and found to have no violations. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units, and recent 311 service requests in 2022-2024 related to food establishment cleanliness were reported as addressed.
