8770 25th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family house at 8770 25th Avenue in Gravesend, built in 1965 and currently owned by Jiawang Chen, experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2010, with multiple code violations documented across both residential units and shared spaces. The first-story apartment (1FL) faced plumbing challenges, including defective connections at sink waste lines in both the kitchen and laundry room, while the first-floor duplex apartment (1FLR) contended with various maintenance concerns such as leaky water supply pipes and waste line issues in the kitchen, as well as electrical problems involving light switches in different rooms.

The garage area presented additional hazards, with violations citing exposed electric wires and the accumulation of refuse and rubbish. One more serious violation was documented regarding compromised masonry ceiling structure underneath the front porch.

All of these violations were eventually closed, with certification dates in March 2021 indicating that the property owner addressed these long-standing maintenance issues, which had persisted for over a decade. It's noteworthy that the most recent documented activity regarding these violations is from 2021, and there have been no recorded violations or inspections in the past few years leading up to July 2025. While the resolution of these long-standing violations suggests improved property maintenance, the building's history from 2010 indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges affecting both units and common areas.
