51 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
51 Jay Street is a 7-story, 76-unit residential building located in DUMBO, Brooklyn, owned by Kristina Ksokolowski and constructed in 1905. The property has experienced recurring ventilation system issues over several years, with the most recent complaints in 2024 and previous violations documented in 2018 and 2019. Multiple service requests in 2024, including concerns about flooring/stairs and plumbing (sink) issues, were closed without inspection access being granted.
The building has also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by 2018 complaints that could not be inspected. Three active ventilation-related violations from 2019 remain open, specifically affecting multiple bathrooms in apartment 3B. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various safety requirements, including the posting of gas leak procedures and notices regarding heating system maintenance in early 2019.
While the property has had multiple violations regarding inspection filings for boiler and elevator systems between 2019 and 2023, these were generally dismissed upon re-inspection. Recent Department of Buildings activity includes a 2025 complaint about construction work beyond approved plans, and a 2024 Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection that required follow-up. The building has maintained a regular rodent inspection schedule, with recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was significant bait application in late 2017. Notably, the building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs in annual reporting since 2018.
