1234 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1234 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Dick Lee, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several notable events throughout its history. Most significantly, in late 2018, the building faced issues with pest control, with multiple reports of rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

A comprehensive inspection on December 25, 2018, revealed multiple safety-related violations, including obstructions on fire escapes, missing safety notices for gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as requirements for proper building registration signage. While all but one of these violations (regarding heating system access) were certified as corrected between January and March 2019, these issues indicate past safety and maintenance concerns.

In terms of more recent history, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug management, with consistent filings from 2019 through 2024 showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units. This pattern suggests effective pest management practices in recent years. The most recent building inspection data available shows no current open violations or outstanding safety concerns, though it is worth noting that the last major violation correction in 2019 focused primarily on administrative and notification requirements rather than structural or safety issues.
