195A Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY 11205

195A Washington Park is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, constructed in 1879 and currently owned by Joseph Salinardi. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with notable problems in the past two years including heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in late 2023, and plumbing problems in early 2023 that required immediate emergency attention. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions primarily related to pests, though no violations were issued following inspections.

Significant infrastructure concerns were documented in 2021, including water leak issues with heavy flow affecting multiple units, and a violation recorded in 2021 regarding an air conditioning unit requiring support brackets on the third story. The building's maintenance history reveals various improvement needs, particularly in Apartment 2 (first floor), which had multiple violations documented in 2000 related to bathroom tile, plaster surfaces, and window caulking repairs. Historical records show past water leak and mold issues in the basement duplex (Apartment 1R) documented in 2003.

Despite these challenges, more recent bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show zero infestation incidents, and a rodent inspection conducted in April 2021 passed compliance. Multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings were filed in 2023, though inspections did not warrant violations. While many historical violations have been addressed, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and plumbing systems, which appear to be ongoing concerns as of 2023-2025.
