8648 Bay 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 8648 Bay 16th Street in Bath Beach, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Jeff Chen, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years. Of particular concern are ongoing heat and hot water system problems documented in late 2018, when multiple emergency complaints were filed about the entire building experiencing inadequate heating or hot water. While these complaints were closed, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was often unable to gain access for inspections.
More recently, the building has faced issues with compliance regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) Class A violations. A window guard safety violation in the public areas was addressed and closed in early 2018. The building's rodent management has shown some attention to maintenance, with inspections in August 2017 and August 2019 passing successfully.
A single mouse sighting complaint was filed and closed in summer 2019 without resolution details provided. While there was one permitted building inspection complaint in 2020 regarding access issues, no significant building changes or violations have been recorded since that time. The building's most critical issues appear to be the recurring bedbug reporting violations and the historical heating system problems from 2018, though the latter may no longer represent a current issue if systems have been properly maintained since.
