206 Bay 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

206 Bay 31st Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Gravesend and owned by Antonina Pellegrino, dating back to 1923. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety compliance issues over recent years, with particular clusters of problems in 2019 and ongoing violations related to safety notifications.

In October 2019, there were multiple non-emergency complaints regarding electrical systems, wall and ceiling conditions, and appliance issues, along with an emergency pest complaint. More recent violations include four consecutive years (2021-2024) of failing to file the required annual bedbug report, and specific safety violations from 2020-2024 that remain open related to self-closing doors for the 2nd floor apartment (C violation). Additionally, there are several open Class A violations from October 2019 regarding required safety postings, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, which present potential safety concerns for residents.

The building's most recent official bedbug reporting (2023-2024) indicates no infestation history, with all units listed as non-infested, including previous eradication and re-infestation counts of zero. While the building's bedbug situation appears currently stable, the outstanding safety violations regarding door mechanisms and required safety postings as of 2024 warrant attention, as these have persisted through multiple inspection cycles. The property has demonstrated some history of maintenance issues requiring multiple agency interventions, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development conducting inspections in response to various complaints, though it's worth noting that no violations were issued for the electric/gas range complaint in October 2019.
