221 Bay 35th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 221 Bay 35th Street in Gravesend, owned by Kwok Chun, was constructed in 2009 and has experienced several notable issues since mid-2023. Most significantly, there was a simultaneous report of water leaks and mold conditions in June 2023, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations.

As of April 2025, the building has an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report requirement that remains unresolved since April 2024. Multiple violations were documented from a July 2023 inspection, including concerns about missing safety and information postings in the first-story public hall, defective self-closing entrance doors, and various issues in apartment 3B, including a water leak affecting the ceiling and east wall, broken plaster surfaces, and the need for window guard repairs.

While some of the July 2023 violations indicate required safety and regulatory compliance measures, such as smoke detector requirements and the housing information guide, the more recent April 2024 bedbug report violation suggests ongoing challenges with routine maintenance and compliance. The building's permit history shows several permits were issued in late 2018, covering different aspects of the construction project, including new building, plumbing, and electrical work.
