190 Bay 23rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The property at 190 Bay 23rd Street in Bath Beach is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Danyaw Chen. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with a major cluster of violations identified in October 2024, including problems with heat and hot water systems, gas supply, and pest infestations. Specifically, there are open violations related to lack of hot water in Apartment 2, insufficient gas supply to kitchen fixtures, and infestations of mice and roaches in the same unit.

Additionally, there was a violation concerning locked access to the building's heating system. These problems emerged following a heat and hot water complaint in October 2024 that was investigated by HPD and resulted in violations being issued, though the resolution process was only beginning at that time. The building has a history of bedbug reporting compliance over the years, with the most recent three reporting periods (2021-2024) showing no infested units, though previous records from 2019-2020 indicate all units had been treated successfully.

The property has shown consistent compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with records showing eradication of all units when infestations were present. While the bedbug problem appears to have been effectively managed, the recent maintenance issues represent a more immediate concern for resident comfort and safety. The building appears to be maintained under the "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" classification, which indicates it has been converted to provide permanent residential units, likely requiring additional oversight to maintain proper living conditions.
