131 Bay 37th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 131 Bay 37th Street in Gravesend, owned by Lily Chin and built in 1927, has experienced several notable regulatory events over recent years. The property has consistently been required to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, though records indicate no actual infestations occurred during this period, with "0" infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported.

More recently, in 2024, the building faced violations related to an illegal parking situation, with the Department of Buildings noting the presence of an illegally parked SUV and an unauthorized parking pad with concrete that had removed plantings. These violations, documented on August 2, 2024, were resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's history includes a series of bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024, each concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. In mid-2023, two complaints were filed regarding the property, one concerning an alleged illegal conversion and another about an illegal curb cut/driveway/ carport, though inspections either could not gain access or resulted in Oath violations being served. It's worth noting that the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, was filed on December 25, 2024, continuing the pattern of compliance with reporting requirements, though the previous violations indicate a history of non-compliance that appears to have been addressed.
