8809 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The three-story, six-unit building at 8809 21st Avenue in Bath Beach, built in 1930 and currently owned by Steven Wu, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the past year. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple service requests were filed regarding issues with flooring, stairs, plumbing (radiators), wall conditions, and unsanitary conditions, including reported pest problems. HPD attempted inspections during this period but was unable to gain access to the premises, resulting in closed complaints that required re-filing for proper follow-up.
The building has an active bedbug reporting history showing no infestations from 2019 through 2025, along with documentation of rat activity in 2024-2025 inspections, indicating persistent pest management challenges. Inspection records from 2024 show significant violations focused on apartment 3F, including issues with floor repairs, door maintenance, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen cabinetry. The building's history includes three "illegal conversion" complaints between 2020-2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
Environmental violations were documented in late 2020 regarding unauthorized concrete work and elimination of planting areas, while multiple heating system complaints were filed in early 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations. Notably, during 2024, there were documented issues with both building-wide pest control requirements and an annual bedbug report compliance requirement. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs, with some violations remaining open as of the latest records in 2024.
