176 Bay 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 176 Bay 34th Street in Gravesend, owned by Erik Liu, has maintained a generally stable record since its 1925 construction, with most recent concerns focusing on compliance issues rather than safety or habitability problems. The building experienced one heat and hot water outage in March 2019 that was promptly addressed within two days, according to both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. More notably, there have been recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation.

The most recent bedbug report for the period of 2022-2023, filed in April 2024, showed no units with recorded infestations, and all previously infested units (three in total) were reported as eradicated. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 consistently shows either zero infested units or no reported infestations, suggesting effective pest management once issues were identified. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most current report from 2024 showing adherence to the mandatory annual filing.

The pattern of violations from 2021 to 2024 indicates a period of adjustment to these reporting requirements, which appears to have been resolved. Looking at the overall record, the building has experienced no significant safety concerns since the isolated heat and hot water incident in 2019, and recent inspections show no active violations. The Gravesend building's history suggests that while there was a period requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance, the property has maintained appropriate pest control measures in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2020 and successful eradication of all affected units when issues were present.
