539 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 539 82nd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Wei Chen, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, the building faced multiple housing code complaints regarding water leaks, floor conditions, and problems with wall and ceiling surfaces.
Apartment 4 has been the focus of multiple violations, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint quality, a broken window frame, and bathroom tile problems identified during an October 2024 inspection, with these violations certified for correction in November 2024. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2019 external low-pressure inspection. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations in previous years, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2025 showing no infested units.
Prior filings between 2021 and 2024 indicated instances of eradicated infestations, though these were successfully addressed according to the records. The property has shown responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the certified correction of several violations in November 2024, though some complaints from October 2024 were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building's age and recent history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing attention to residential conditions is necessary, though the recent bedbug reports indicate successful management of that particular issue.
