1772 West 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The building at 1772 West 12th Street in Gravesend, owned by Alan Chu, is a 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1933. The property has experienced several concerning electrical issues, particularly in January 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding lighting problems, including non-functioning outlets and switches, which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in Apartment 1F, where several safety and maintenance issues were documented between January 2021 and May 2021, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical service to ceiling fixtures in the bathroom, kitchen, and various rooms.

Additionally, there were violations regarding ceiling paint requirements. A building structural stability complaint was filed in January 2021 but was investigated and found to have no warranted violations. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any of the three annual filings between 2021 and 2024, showing a clean record of eradicated and re-infested units.

The building was subject to three separate bedbug violation notices in 2021-2022 for failing to submit annual reports, though these violations appear to have been resolved. The most recent violations on record are from March 2023, though the specific details were not provided in the available data. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly related to electrical systems, the owner has taken steps to address violations when cited, as evidenced by several violations being marked as "Closed" in the system.
