8753 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 8753 19th Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Shu Wen Wu, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law tenement. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues, particularly in 2020-2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including recurring mold problems in multiple units, broken window guards, and heating/hot water issues. A significant cluster of complaints in January 2020 alone included reports of mold in multiple apartments (2R, 3F, and common areas), electrical wiring concerns, and heat/hot water problems, most of which were subsequently closed without violations being issued after HPD inspections.

Additional violations were recorded in 2021 concerning lead paint hazard notification failures and a mold condition specifically documented in apartment 3F. The building underwent inspections in early 2021 that revealed several violations requiring remediation, including mold abatement, repairs to public hall fire retardant materials, and painting requirements for the third-story ceiling. A bedbug report violation was also noted in early 2021 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the current bedbug reporting from 2022 shows no infestations or eradication activities, suggesting successful resolution of this issue.

The building's most recent 311 service requests indicate increased attention to building maintenance, with no major recurring issues reported since 2021. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding an illegal curb cut was investigated in May 2021 but resulted in no violations being warranted. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations and eradications over the past three reporting periods, indicating effective pest management since 2021.
