575 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, ten-unit New Law Tenement building at 575 80th Street in Bay Ridge, built in 1931 and currently owned by Zhong Qin Yu, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance. Most recently, in December 2023, there were reports of heat and hot water issues, though these were resolved within two days. The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water issues, with similar complaints in January 2022.

Additionally, multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded in early 2022, including issues with water leaks, pest infestation, mold, and problems with ceiling plaster and floor tiles, particularly in Apartment 3A, where several open violations remain. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints regarding pests, mold, and rodent sightings between 2019 and 2022. The property has also faced compliance challenges, including two Environmental Control Board violations in 2022 related to failure to conduct or file final inspections of permitted work, resulting in a penalty of $1,250, though this was later resolved.

As of early 2025, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods, and rodent inspections in 2022 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. A recent inspection in December 2023 found a door closure device issue, which was addressed, while an April 2024 inspection showed an annual bedbug report requirement violation, though this appears to be a procedural matter rather than relating to an actual infestation. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2021 and 2023, with varying response times and resolutions, indicating potential ongoing issues with building systems.
