7009 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story New Law Tenement building at 7009 12th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Xiu Li, has been in existence since 1920 and contains three residential units. The property has experienced recurring issues with its bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024, and a similar violation in March 2023, both showing as open with no certified resolution date.

These violations pertain to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. While there are closed violations from 2021 and 2022 that were also related to bedbug reporting requirements, the pattern of violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with compliance. The building's documented history includes two years (2021 and 2022) during which bedbug infestations were reported as none in the official filings, with no units listed as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.

Interestingly, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion of the property logged in December 2019, which was marked as closed in February 2020 due to the inspector's inability to gain access for verification. The property, having reached its centennial year, continues to operate under the New Law Tenement classification, which often holds specific regulatory requirements regarding building maintenance and tenant protections. The most pressing current concern appears to be the open bedbug reporting violations, which have persisted through at least four consecutive annual inspection periods (2021-2024).
