225 Bay 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-family house at 225 Bay 11th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Yuqin Chen, has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in December 2024, the building faced a violation relating to failure to conduct or file a final inspection for permitted work, resulting in a substantial penalty of $6,250 that remains unpaid as of July 2025.

This violation, issued by the Environmental Control Board, specifically noted that work performed under job number 321706631, which had expired on December 19, 2018, was not properly signed off according to Department of Buildings requirements. Compounding these recent issues, in May 2023, there was a complaint regarding construction work being carried out contrary to approved plans and permits, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served in December 2024.

The building has a history of unauthorized modifications, illustrated by a 2019 complaint about illegal conversion, though this investigation was closed in March 2020 when inspectors were unable to gain access after multiple attempts. The property, constructed in 1935 and consisting of two stories, has maintained its original two-family classification throughout these events.
