1222 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1222 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Cunru Zheng, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2021. Most recently, in September 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises for verification.

The building has a concerning pattern of bedbug-related violations, with HPD issuing annual violation notices from 2021 through 2023 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, though the property has maintained a clean record in terms of actual infestations, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. In 2019, there were two separate complaints related to an unauthorized conversion and an unpermitted work permit, but in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

While the building's infrastructure appears to have minimal documented issues in recent years, the property's history of inspection access denial and the sequence of bedbug report violations suggest management has faced challenges with compliance and maintenance monitoring. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024) shows no infestation issues, which may indicate improved property conditions, though this is based on mandatory reporting requirements and not independent verification.
