8747 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8747 19th Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 in the Bath Beach neighborhood, currently owned by Dvj & Wh LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with complaints about lack of heat and hot water reported in February 2019 and most recently in February 2024, though inspections in both instances found no violations.

In February 2024, several significant violations were documented in apartment 1F, including the presence of cockroach infestation, approximately 10 square feet of mold in the bathroom, and multiple safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced maintenance issues related to self-closing doors, with violations noted in 2024 and previous violations in 2019, particularly affecting building entrance and cellar access points. The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2024, as evidenced by five consecutive annual reports showing zero infested dwelling units.

Between April and June 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut or driveway modification, though inspections during this period did not warrant any violations. Historical records show that the building was cited in 2019 for failing to post gas leak procedures in a common area, an A-class violation, which was subsequently addressed. While the building's bedbug management compliance has been exemplary, the most pressing current concerns relate to the recent violations found in 1F and the ongoing heating system reliability issues affecting multiple units.
