355 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family residence at 355 Ridgewood Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Igar Ridgewood LLC, has experienced notable maintenance challenges, particularly during September 2018, when multiple violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (2FL). These issues included significant mold problems affecting various bathroom areas (10 sq. ft. on ceiling, 5 sq. ft.

on west wall, and 20 sq. ft. on south wall), lack of required carbon monoxide detectors, and numerous instances of damaged plaster and paintwork across multiple rooms including the kitchen, private hallway, and various ceilings. Specifically, violations were recorded for defective plaster surfaces and uniform paint color requirements in the kitchen, multiple rooms, and hallway, as well as a malfunctioning ceiling light fixture in the kitchen. While these violations were issued as Class B (requiring correction but not immediately hazardous), one violation was categorized as Class C, indicating potentially more significant concerns.

In terms of historical inspections, the building underwent an initial rodent inspection in March 2012, which it passed, suggesting no significant pest issues at that time. However, given that the current date is July 2025 and the most recent documented issues were in 2018, there is limited available information on the building's condition in more recent years. The 2018 violations had not been certified as resolved in the provided records, though they were closed by the HPD three days after being reported. The building, constructed in 1901, is two stories high and contains two units, typical of its classification as a two-family house. While more recent conditions are not documented in the available data, the 2018 records indicate a period of notable maintenance challenges that would have required attention to bring the dwelling up to current housing standards.
