2826 West 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-story, four-unit building at 2826 West 19th Street in Coney Island, owned by Shu Juan Lin, was constructed in 1901 as a New Law Tenement and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, in June 2019, the building suffered fire damage affecting approximately 15 feet of the front roof frame, requiring emergency repairs and engineering evaluation to address structural concerns.

While the fire incident led to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, these were subsequently dismissed in January 2022 once proper repairs were completed under job number 321984028. In 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding building shaking and structural stability, with one complaint resulting in a vacate order that was fully rescinded in early 2022. The building has a documented pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with open violations as recent as April 2024 and previous citations in 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirements.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in April 2023 for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. A recent complaint from June 2024 regarding alleged illegal conversion could not be investigated due to inspector access issues. Throughout its history, the building has maintained regular documentation and responded to violations, with most being resolved or dismissed following appropriate actions, particularly the structural issues stemming from the 2019 fire incident.
