6830 Ridge Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The four-story, 23-unit residential building at 6830 Ridge Boulevard in Bay Ridge, owned by Ghilen Atiff and built in 1916, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring heat and hot water complaints in early 2025 (January and February) that remained unresolved due to inspection access issues, and ongoing violations from a September 2024 inspection of apartment 4E revealing multiple safety concerns including a faulty intercom system, missing carbon monoxide detectors, defective smoke detector, and problematic entrance door hardware.

The building has also faced structural and safety challenges, with complaints about building shaking/vibration in June 2024, though these were subsequently classified as Oath Violations. Additional documented issues include multiple housing maintenance code violations from 2022 regarding paint/plaster problems (particularly in apartment 2F), and a documented rodent sighting in May 2022, though subsequent inspections in 2022, 2015, and 2013 showed compliance.

Quirks in the building's maintenance history include two HPD inspection attempts for heat/hot water issues in 2025 where inspectors were denied access. There have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual inspections from 2019 to 2024, and while there were violations related to a porous bulkhead and obstructed fire escape in 2024 (with penalties imposed), these appear to have been resolved. The building's overall track record shows periodic maintenance challenges, particularly with heat and safety systems, but also demonstrates some compliance with rodent control requirements and pest management protocols.
