1213 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
1213 79th Street is a two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building located in Dyker Heights and currently owned by Jin Wang. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant events over the past few years.
Most notably, there was a recent complaint in 2023 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued following an HPD inspection. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations between 2020 and 2024. The property has a documented history of construction-related issues between 2018-2019, including several complaints about unauthorized work and failure to comply with stop work orders, particularly during a period of renovations involving structural elements like steel girders in the cellar.
Multiple construction-related violations were issued and subsequently resolved, including two Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 regarding unauthorized work continuation, for which $2,500 in penalties was imposed. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections during this period that resulted in some inspections being marked "Unable To Gain Access" under illegal conversion complaints. However, all these construction-related issues appear to have been resolved, with the final bedbug reports between 2020-2024 showing no infestations, and the most recent building permits issued in 2020 indicating proper documentation and approval processes were followed.
