8638 Bay 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 8638 Bay 16th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Vivian Lui, was constructed in 1997 and has experienced several significant events, most notably in 2018. In June 2018, an inspection revealed unpermitted renovation work including demolition, drywall installation, and electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work being conducted by three workers, which led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations over the following months as the owner failed to properly address the initial violation and file required certifications.

These violations were ultimately resolved, with no penalties imposed. More recently, the building has demonstrated proper pest control practices, with the most recent bedbug report filing in December 2024 showing zero infested units, consistent with previous years' reports dating back to 2019.

The building's most recent housing maintenance code violation from April 2021 involved a late bedbug report filing, though this was subsequently addressed, and there have been no significant violations or safety concerns reported in the past two years. The property appears to be currently maintaining compliance with housing regulations, particularly in terms of pest management.
