170 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 30-unit, 5-story tenement at 170 Parkside Avenue, built in 1916 and currently owned by James Dimitriades, has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there is currently an open heat and hot water complaint as of May 2025, following a pattern of similar issues throughout the year, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints documented between January and April 2025.

The building also experienced unsanitary conditions in May 2025, specifically related to mold, as well as ceiling issues that resulted in housing maintenance code violations. In 2024, multiple violations were documented in apartment 2F, including broken floors, defective vinyl tiles, plumbing issues, and inadequate hot water supply, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2019-2023), and there were significant plumbing issues in early 2025, including heavy and slow water leaks. Rodent activity has been consistently documented, with six bait applications recorded between July 2023 and January 2025, though the most recent inspection in January 2025 did not show active rodent issues. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent annual filings, the persistent heat/hot water issues and rodent activity, along with multiple building code violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
