536 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-unit, three-story New Law tenement at 536 79th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Constantine Chambers, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1920. Most recently, in early 2024, the property faced plumbing and sewage issues that were classified as emergencies, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, leading to the complaints being closed without resolution.
The building has been subject to four Housing Maintenance Code violation notices between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required, though these violations have been marked as closed. In October 2020, there was a significant incident involving work without a permit, with the Department of Buildings citing unauthorized construction activity involving concrete masonry blocks for a garage wall.
This violation resulted in a $1,250 penalty that was subsequently resolved. Historically, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While the recent plumbing issues are concerning, it's worth noting that the building has generally demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, and the 2020 violation appears to have been an isolated incident related to construction work.
