228 Bay 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

228 Bay 34th Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Gravesend, built in 1925 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, currently owned by Win Ng, has experienced several notable issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns arising in 2020. That year, the building faced two documented complaints - one regarding heating and hot water issues in November, which went unresolved due to lack of access for inspection, and another involving unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage in June, which resulted in housing violations.

More recently, the building's inspection records from 2020-2024 reveal several open violations from November 2020 concerning alterations made to public areas, including unauthorized acoustic ceiling installations, wood paneling from floor to ceiling on walls, and the presence of household items and extra doors in the public hall areas. Other maintenance concerns identified in 2020 include a defective vestibule door lock and the need for wire mesh screens around skylights on the second story. The building has demonstrated a relatively consistent record of addressing pest control issues, as evidenced by its bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 showing zero infestation cases during the filing periods.

While the property previously experienced some rodent issues, inspections from 2011-2012 show compliance with regulations, with only one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons in March 2011. The building's documentation also indicates regular bedbug reporting requirements have been met in recent years, with no reported cases, suggesting improved management of pest control protocols. The most recent inspection in 2024 did not reveal any new major concerns, though it should be noted that while some violations from 2020 remain open, the building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
