627 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 627 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Zhou Min Wang, is currently experiencing significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. The property has been grappling with persistent heat and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between February and May, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

In May 2025, there were additional concerns regarding water supply and plumbing systems. The building also has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024, including issues with the ceiling paint in public halls, a missing wire screen at a skylight, broken fire-retardant material in the second-story hall ceiling, and various safety notice requirements that remain unaddressed. A particular focus should be on the Class C violation involving a defective self-closing door in apartment 2R and leaky bathtub faucets, both of which were cited in October 2024.

The building's common areas require attention to safety requirements, including the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and repairs to address roof leaks in the second-story public hall. While rodent inspections conducted in January and March 2025 passed successfully, the persistent issues with heat/hot water systems and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has seen a high volume of complaints requiring HPD intervention in 2025, with multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for inspections or requiring tenants to refile complaints for unresolved issues.
