The three-story, New Law Tenement building at 529 80th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Johnny Lim, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues since 2020. Most recently, in 2025, the property received several HPD complaints regarding safety and sanitary conditions, including concerns about fire escape functionality, garbage storage, and missing signage, though not all resulted in violations. The building has active ECB violations from December 2024 related to fire escape modifications and unpermitted construction, including an allegedly obstructed fire escape at the east rear of the building and unauthorized electrical work for a garage structure, with penalties totaling $5,250.
Records indicate a pattern of inspection access issues, particularly regarding multiple complaints about illegal hotel rooms and unpermitted work, with inspectors unable to gain entry on several occasions. The property has documented recurring concerns about sanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints spanning from 2024 to 2025. There are also open violations from prior years regarding bedbug reporting requirements, specifically from 2021-2024.
Historical records show significant past violations from 2020 concerning unauthorized unit conversions and safety system deficiencies related to SROs (Single Room Occupancy), though these were ultimately resolved. Additionally, there have been recent electrical and lighting issues reported in 2025, and the building underwent rodent inspections in 2024, which successfully passed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with compliance requirements and maintenance standards, particularly regarding emergency egress systems and waste management.
