65 Washington Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 13-story, 54-unit residential building at 65 Washington Street in DUMBO, owned by Jennifer Gipp and constructed in 2000, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to door and window maintenance, including issues with door frames, self-closing doors, and window components, particularly in apartment 10B. The building has active violations for failing to file required technical reports related to facade inspections (FISP Cycle 9C) as of February 2024, and there was a significant facade safety notification issued in June 2020.

Between 2019 and 2023, there were several complaints regarding building stability, with multiple reports of shaking and vibrating, though most were closed without violations. The elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with violations related to multiple devices and inspection failures. Recent inspections indicate the building is managing pest control effectively, with no reports of bedbugs in the last several years and consistently passing rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2025.

The property has shown some improvement in maintenance response times, with recent violations being closed within weeks of inspection. Historical records show the building has maintained a generally compliant status, though there have been periodic issues requiring attention to both safety systems (elevator, facade) and general maintenance (doors, windows). The most recent routine inspections suggest basic systems and infrastructure are functioning, though ongoing attention to facade maintenance and reporting requirements appears necessary based on active violations.
