1852 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1852 Bay Ridge Parkway, owned by Bing Yen, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2023, with the most significant problems occurring in Apartment 1R where multiple violations have been documented. As of mid-2024, there are open violations related to mold, pests (specifically roaches), water leaks, and lead paint hazards, particularly affecting the bathroom and ceiling areas. The building has also exhibited problems with its infrastructure and fixtures, including plumbing issues (steam pipe/riser and toilet problems), and multiple complaints about paint and plaster conditions.

An emergency door/ window issue was recorded in late 2024. Interestingly, while there have been several pest-related complaints, including reports of unsanitary conditions, the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 can be seen as relatively positive, showing unit counts of 0 for infestations and eradications. The property's inspection history shows a notable pattern of complaints being investigated but typically resulting in no violations being issued, with the exception of one pest-related inspection in October 2023 that did result in violations.

Previous building complaints from 2020 regarding illegal conversion and hotel room usage were closed with no violations found. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and upkeep, particularly affecting the 1R apartment where most violations are concentrated. However, it's worth noting that many recent complaints have been categorized as "closed" without violations, indicating that while issues are being reported, they may not always meet the threshold for formal violations under Housing Maintenance Code standards.
