127 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

127 Ridgewood Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1931. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during late 2020, when there were multiple emergency complaints related to door and window conditions including a window frame issue and door problems, along with a heat and hot water complaint in one apartment, all of which were eventually resolved.

The building is currently facing an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) this violation has been recorded. Additional safety-related violations from January 2021 include requirements to post important safety notices regarding heating system access and gas leak procedures in the public hall, along with a violation for certificate of inspection posting near mailboxes.

The property has a documented history of door-related issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints, and in 2021, a specific violation was issued regarding defective self-closing doors at the 2nd-floor entrance. A rodent inspection from March 2012 showed passing results, and there was one building inspection in 2019 that was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." While some of these issues have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations and various door-related problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The current owner, Leslie Santiago, has maintained ownership of the property throughout these documented events.
