212 Bay 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit building at 212 Bay 34th Street in Gravesend, owned by Xing Lin, has experienced several notable events since 2019, with the most recent being an April 2024 violation related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record based on multiple filings from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. A significant cluster of violations occurred in October 2019, including safety-related issues such as a broken window guard (considered an emergency), the presence of an illegal double-cylinder lock on the entrance door, and various safety notice requirements that were initially unmet.

These included missing notices for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the housing information guide. Additionally, there was a violation regarding the need for self-closing doors in the vestibule area. Most of these violations were certified as corrected by January 2020, with the exception of the bedbug report violation and the missing window guard, which was inspected and closed in October 2019 without any violations being issued.

The building's records from 2021 to 2023 show consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with the 2023-2024 report filed correctly, though noting a violation for late filing. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations during this period, the building has undergone recent structural upkeep, as evidenced by the window guard issue reported in 2019. The building's age (1925) and history of violations suggests periodic maintenance challenges, though recent records indicate better compliance with most housing maintenance requirements, aside from the recent bedbug report violation. The property has maintained its status as a "NEW LAW TENEMENT," complying with most relevant housing regulations since the initial cluster of violations was addressed in 2019-2020.
