134 Bay 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

134 Bay 38th Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building located in Gravesend, Brooklyn, built in 1924 and currently owned by Wen Ya Wu. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April and May of that year, though most were resolved relatively quickly, with some violations issued during HPD inspections.

More recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealed various violations, including an open Class A violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report (2024) and remaining open violations related to a self-closing door issue (2F) and heating system access (2022). The building underwent multiple HPD inspections in 2022 that identified several Administrative Code violations, including the need for proper gas leak procedures signage and maintenance of the west yard area.

The property has been subject to various Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and inspections over the years, with a notable cluster of complaints in 2021 regarding work without permits, defective boiler issues, and construction concerns - though most were found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's most recent significant complaint relates to an illegal curb cut or driveway modification (2024), which was substantiated by the DOB and resulted in a violation being served. During the bedbug reporting periods of 2019-2020 and 2021-2022, no infestations were reported, and all units were listed as free from bedbug issues in the most recent 2023 filing.
