1251 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1251 East 19th Street in Midwood is an 8-story, 26-unit residential building constructed in 2016, currently owned by Datong Qi. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its operating history, with the most significant occurring most recently in 2023 when multiple violations were cited regarding elevator maintenance, including concerns about governor rope length, worn gibs, expired fire extinguisher, and unauthorized materials in the machine room – though this violation has since been resolved with no penalties.

In July 2022, three separate violations were issued related to unauthorized installation of chain link fencing with black mesh on the 7th floor parapet wall, resulting in a total of $1,860 in penalties (though records show no balance due). The building has consistently demonstrated good pest management practices, with the most recent bedbug report (for the period ending October 2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units, and similar findings for previous reporting periods since 2019, indicating effective compliance with NYC's bedbug reporting requirements. The building has been subject to regular bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all reports showing no incidents of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

Two repeat violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 regarding non-filing of the annual bedbug report, though it is unclear if these were addressed as subsequent reports show consistent compliance. While the building has had several violations over its history, most have been promptly resolved, and there have been no recent safety-related violations since the 2023 elevator maintenance issues were addressed. The property appears to be generally well-maintained with regard to its most recent history, particularly in terms of pest management compliance.
