84 Bay 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The three-unit, three-story building at 84 Bay 40th Street in Gravesend, owned by Xin Qin Gu and constructed in 1935 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there were three documented incidents of heat and hot water problems in late 2020 (October and November), during which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the apartments.
Additionally, in August 2020, there was a power outage in the building that was investigated by HPD, though no violations were issued in that case. More recently, the building has ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open citations from 2021 through 2024 indicating that the annual bedbug reports mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code have not been filed as required.
These open violations, classified as "Class A," represent a continuing compliance issue for the building. Given the age of the building and the pattern of emergency complaints in 2020, combined with the current bedbug reporting violations, there are several maintenance and compliance issues that prospective tenants should be aware of, though it's important to note that the most recent complaint records available date back to 2020.
