1456 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building at 1456 Bay Ridge Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Benedetta Dimaggio and constructed in 1909, has experienced recurring issues with compliance to housing maintenance codes over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating the owner has failed to file the mandated annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

Additionally, the building has several other maintenance concerns, particularly documented during a 2018 inspection. These include multiple violations related to safety and security, such as inadequate entrance lighting, insufficient public hall lighting, and issues with a self-closing door in the entrance area.

Apartment 4 on the third floor has been the primary focus of several violations, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and window guard requirements. While one violation regarding window guards was marked as closed, the other safety concerns in this apartment and the building-wide issues remain unresolved as of the latest available data. The concentration of violations in 2018, particularly regarding safety systems and lighting, suggests long-standing maintenance challenges that have persisted without resolution over multiple years.
