130 Bay 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The property at 130 Bay 47th Street in Gravesend is a two-story, three-unit converted Class A building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Li Feng Li. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues, particularly in early 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating systems, pest infestations, mold, and water leaks, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment. Despite these complaints indicating emergency conditions, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations.

The building has also faced persistent issues with bedbugs, with reports showing infestations in all units in 2022-2023, though the most recent 2023-2024 report indicates zero infested units. Significant violations remain open as of 2025, including issues with water leaks, mold, cabinet damage, and rodent infestation in the first apartment. Recent activity shows ongoing regulatory scrutiny under Local Law 188/17, with compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024, though inspectors have generally been unable to gain access.

The Department of Buildings records indicate multiple inspection attempts between 2021-2024 for complaints about unauthorized work, with inspectors consistently unable to gain access. The building's last rodent inspection from 2014 was passed, but subsequent bedbug and pest control issues suggest continued concerns about unit maintenance. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting with varied infestation levels, indicating fluctuating pest management success. While some inspections in 2022-2023 resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings, the persistence of open violations and recurring complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and habitability challenges.
