2513 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 2513 East 19th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Mei Liang, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020, with the most pressing concerns continuing into 2024. Most notably, the building has three open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation documented in April 2024.

The property has also shown persistent challenges with door safety, including an open violation from January 2024 regarding a public hall entrance door that was not self-closing properly, despite previous similar violations being resolved. Other notable issues include a 2023 violation regarding the need for proper kitchen ceiling paint in Apartment 2F, and multiple 2022 violations concerning inadequate safety postings, including gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and fire escape maintenance.

The building's fire escape system was specifically noted as having a defective drop ladder that required adjustment. While some violations from 2022 and early 2024 have been closed, such as the requirement to paint the kitchen ceiling and address public hall door issues, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The building has a history of requiring various safety-related improvements, particularly in 2022, when multiple safety notice requirements were identified, though many of these were subsequently resolved.
