1642 Bath Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 1642 Bath Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Yickkwan Wu and constructed in 1919, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building received multiple violations related to health and safety requirements, including the need to post proper notifications for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and a requirement to provide sufficient and proper metal receptacles for waste materials. A 2024 inspection also identified a problem with a defective self-closing door at the first-story vestibule.
Earlier violations from 2019 highlighted concerns about fire escape access and smoke detector placement, though these were resolved with a total penalty of $1,875. Additionally, the building experienced a recent 311 complaint in April 2024 regarding unsanitary garbage storage conditions. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, with all reports indicating zero infested units.
Three consecutive annual bedbug reports submitted between 2021 and 2023 showed no infestations. The property has an active bedbug reporting compliance record, with the most recent filing in December 2023 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023. After receiving various housing violations in 2024, the property has made efforts to address many of the issues, with several violations being certified as corrected by August 2024, including the posting of required safety notices and the repair of the defective door. The building has proper permits on file for work completed under job number 321136604, which was issued in July 2021.
