1268 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 1268 Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Shenghai Huang, has a number of significant maintenance and violation records spanning several years. Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating the owner's failure to file required annual reports in accordance with HPD rules.

The building has also experienced heat-related problems, particularly in December 2021 when both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding heating and hot water issues in the second-floor apartment, leading to violations. Multiple open violations from December 2021 remain unaddressed, including defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in the second-floor apartment, inadequate heating in the same apartment, a missing notice about the designated keyholder for the building's heating system in the public hall, and access problems to the locked boiler room in the cellar. While there were rodent inspection issues in 2011 with one failure recorded, subsequent inspections that year resulted in passing grades.

The building's history from 2011 to present shows relatively few inspections compared to many other properties of similar age and size, with the most recent significant issues being concentrated around heating system maintenance and bedbug reporting compliance. The persistence of open violations related to bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 suggests an ongoing concern with compliance to housing maintenance requirements. The building's age (constructed in 1925) and classification as a New Law tenement are consistent with its two-story construction and four-unit configuration, though these factors are typical for similar buildings in the area.
