215 Bay 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 215 Bay 31st Street in Gravesend, currently owned by Jing Huang, was constructed in 1997 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. In March 2023, multiple non-emergency housing maintenance complaints were recorded, including issues with wall paint/plaster and a slow water leak. This led to a series of violations identified in March 2023, primarily affecting the third-floor Apartment 3, where problems were noted with plaster surfaces, various repairs needed for ceilings, and multiple safety concerns including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a broken light fixture, and issues with self-closing doors.

A requirement for a completed certificate of inspection visits in the public hall was also cited. While these violations have been marked as closed, they reflect a period of maintenance challenges. The building has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2023 through mid-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and all previously infested units successfully eradicated.

A bedbug reporting violation was noted in March 2023, though this appears to have been resolved, as subsequent reports (including one filed in July 2024) show compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports. Historical rodent inspections from late 2011 show one failed inspection for unspecified reasons, though this was followed by a successful compliance inspection. As of the latest available data, there are no open violations on record, though the building's recent history suggests attention to maintenance and safety issues has been required.
