1541 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1541 Bay Ridge Parkway is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by 1899 Tang Realty Corp. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, including multiple non-emergency inspections for unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, as well as emergency issues related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that were promptly closed. Previous serious problems were documented in December 2021, when multiple violations were issued regarding water leaks, pest infestations, and wall conditions.

The building has demonstrated ongoing pest management challenges, as evidenced by four consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 indicating no infestation or eradication cases. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations requiring attention to safety and habitability standards. In 2022, several critical safety issues were identified in Apartment 1, including problems with window guards, door security, and unauthorized interior modifications.

These violations were ultimately addressed, as indicated by their closure status. More recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have focused on building safety features, particularly regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detection systems, with violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements identified in 2024. The building's rodent inspection in March 2024 was passed, and an emergency rodent-related complaint in February 2024 was resolved with no violations found. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, the owner has generally addressed violations when identified through official inspections and tenant complaints.
