25 Bay 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The four-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building at 25 Bay 31st Street in Gravesend, owned by Viola Hoxha, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with two separate emergency complaints in October 2024 and another in December 2024. Recent concerns include unsanitary conditions with mold (May 2025) and electrical issues with outlets/switches (also May 2025).
Structural and safety concerns are evident, with an Environmental Control Board violation in November 2024 for multiple step cracks in the building's masonry facade, which presented an immediate hazard for pedestrians. The building has a history of various maintenance challenges, including two instances of heavy water leaks in mid-2024 (June and July), electrical problems (no lighting in August 2024), and garbage/recycling storage issues. There are also multiple open violations from July 2024 regarding the need for repairs to plastered surfaces and doors in Apartment 7, as well as a violation concerning a fire escape obstruction by an air conditioning unit documented in October 2024. The building's history shows attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2022-2025), though there was one recorded incident in 2021 with two infested units.
Rodent issues were documented in early 2024, with a failed inspection for other reasons noted in December 2023. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints about unauthorized work in the building between 2022-2024, with some resulting in violations. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, several violations remain open, particularly those related to building maintenance and repairs. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building systems, warranting close attention to any recurring issues that may affect resident comfort and safety.
