80 Bay 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 80 Bay 13th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Benjamin Velazquez, has a concerning history of maintenance compliance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there is an active pattern of violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with six consecutive violations issued between April and September 2023 for failure to submit required documentation from 2018 to 2023.

Additionally, there was a significant enforcement action in April 2021 when a violation was served regarding failure to comply with a Commissioner’s order, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $1,250 penalty. The building has experienced recurring compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with several violations issued for failure to file annual bedbug reports until a May 2024 filing finally addressed this requirement, showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the reporting period.

A food preparation location complaint was logged and closed in mid-2024 through the Department of Health, though the specifics of any violations are not detailed in the available records. Historical records show a passed rodent inspection in 2014, but this represents the most recent available pest control data for the property. The building's management has demonstrated a pattern of delayed compliance with mandatory safety inspections and reporting requirements, though recent documentation suggests some improvements in addressing these violations.
