1851 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement at 1851 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, owned by Daniel Lai and constructed in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent heat and hot water complaint from October 2024 affecting the entire building, which HPD was unable to fully investigate due to access issues.
The building has recurring issues with rodent infestations, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2021 and 2022, though a compliance inspection in May 2022 passed. There are also persistent administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under HMC regulations.
The property has outstanding Department of Buildings violations as of June 2023 for not filing external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, both categorized as active violations. While the building has shown some compliance in past rodent inspections, such as passing a May 2022 compliance check, the pattern of repeated violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The heat and hot water issues, being the most recent complaint, warrant particular attention as they directly affect resident comfort and well-being, though access issues limited the investigating agency's ability to verify the conditions.
