1844 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-family home at 1844 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, owned by Elvira Bruce, has experienced several regulatory issues and safety concerns over recent years. Most significantly, in late 2023 through early 2024, the building was implicated in a gas utility violation involving unauthorized gas supply modifications, with inspectors finding unsafe alterations to the boiler room riser configuration that supplied gas to fixtures above the cellar level.

This violation, which carries an active penalty of $2,530, was officially recorded on January 23, 2024. The property has also had recurring issues with timely filing of required safety inspections, including an active violation reported in April 2023 for failure to submit the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, and a previously dismissed violation from November 2019 related to the 2017 annual boiler inspection.

In terms of pest management, the building's bedbug report for the period between November 2020 and October 2021 indicated no infestations, with zero units affected, eradicated, or re-infested during that period. The structure, which was built in 1931, remains a two-story, two-family dwelling as classified under building code regulations. While there have been no reported bedbug issues since 2021 and no other infestation-related complaints on record, the recent gas safety violation and the pattern of inspection filing errors suggest ongoing compliance and safety management challenges.
