247 Senator Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

247 Senator Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bay Ridge, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Frank Amarante. The building has experienced several notable incidents and violations over the past few years, with the most recent significant event being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2022, though this issue was reportedly resolved within one day.

In 2022, the building underwent multiple housing maintenance code inspections revealing several safety concerns in Apartment 1F, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and defective self-closing doors, as well as similar self-closing door issues in Apartment 2R. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with consistent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units between 2022 and 2025. The Department of Buildings issued two violations for failure to file annual boiler and external low pressure inspection reports in 2019 and 2023, respectively, though both were ultimately dismissed.

Two complaints were filed regarding the building's condition: one regarding structural stability in December 2022 (no violation found upon inspection) and another about illegal hotel rooms in April 2021 (also no violation found). The property's violation history suggests improvements in building management, with most issues being addressed and closed within reasonable timeframes, though the pattern of safety code violations in mid-2022 indicated multiple areas needing attention. The building's systems appear to have stabilized since 2022, with no recent major complaints or violations related to basic services like heat and hot water.
