206 Bay 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

206 Bay 34th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building located in Gravesend, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Wei Zhou. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 through 2023, with violations noted in three consecutive years (2021-2023) for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were eventually closed.

More recently, the building has demonstrated proper compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by six consecutive filings from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property has several notable open violations from 2018 that remain unresolved, including inadequate lighting in public areas and entrance security concerns.

Specifically, there are two class B violations related to lighting: one for insufficient illumination (less than 60 watts) in public hallways, and another for inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which should be maintained from sunset to sunrise. Additionally, there is a class C violation regarding a broken or defective mortise lock at the entrance door to the building's first-story public hall. While the building's more recent bedbug reporting compliance suggests improved management attention to maintenance and regulatory requirements, these older open violations indicate persistent issues with building safety and security systems that may impact resident safety and comfort.
