240 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The five-story, nine-unit building at 240 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Baltictown Inc., has been subject to several noteworthy occurrences since 2019. Most concerning are two indoor air quality incidents in late 2019 and late 2020, both involving chemical vapors, gases, or odors, for which the property management received advisories from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

In December 2019, a ventilation system complaint led to inspections that revealed safety equipment deficiencies in Apartment 8 on the fourth floor, specifically regarding inoperative carbon monoxide detectors and missing smoke detectors. The building received a violation in January 2020 related to gas leak safety procedure postings, though this was subsequently certified as corrected. More recently, in September 2023, the property faced an Environmental Control Board violation regarding improper sidewalk shed maintenance, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed.

Importantly, the building has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all ten annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent bedbug report from January 2025 confirmed the continued absence of any infestations in the previous year (2023-2024) period. The building's overall record shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance issues as they arise, with particular attention required to ensure timely resolution of air quality concerns and to verify the proper functioning of safety equipment.
