728 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 6-story, 30-unit building at 728 Driggs Avenue, owned by Angelica Salas, has experienced significant heat and hot water issues in April 2025, with multiple complaints documented from April 11 to April 16. These complaints, designated as building-wide problems, resulted in HPD inspections, some of which confirmed violations requiring corrections by the property owner. The building, constructed in 1911, has a history of maintenance challenges, including a 2024 violation regarding a defective self-closing door at the 6th story bulkhead.
Other notable historical issues include a 2021 boiler emergency with elevated CO readings (117 PPM) at the front boiler jacket, and various structural and maintenance violations in 2021 related to public hall walls and ceilings. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed rat activity in April, following several bait applications throughout 2024-2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from 2020 to 2024.
A 2024 ECB violation was issued for illegal property use, specifically regarding a deli on the first floor in an R6 zone without commercial overlay, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has also faced issues with compliance and inspection requirements, as evidenced by a 2023 violation for failing to file 2022 external low pressure inspection results, and an active violation as of 2024 regarding failure to display energy efficiency score and grade. While many past violations have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and rat activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's unit count, story height, and construction year classify it as a New Law Tenement under NYC building regulations.
