613 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit building at 613 Bay Ridge Avenue in Bay Ridge has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2021, though some recent concerns have been resolved. Most notably, there is an ongoing investigation as of October 2023 regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment, and in 2023, there were multiple violations related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements and record-keeping failures.

The building has also faced recurring issues with mold, including recent mold complaints in May 2025 and a notable violation in July 2023 affecting the bathroom in Apartment 2F. Other significant incidents include a safety concern regarding a broken window guard in July 2023 and a heat/hot water outage in January 2021 that was reportedly resolved quickly. The building's records also show multiple instances of both household mold problems and unauthorized painting/repair work, though most recent HPD inspections have found no violations requiring formal penalties.

In addition to these issues, the building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, with no reported infestations during any of the periods covered by these reports. The property owner, Kazimierz Lan, has generally addressed violations when they are issued, though some issues, such as the lead dust complaint from October 2023 and various violations from 2023 regarding lead paint hazards and mold, remained unresolved or only recently addressed as of 2025. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with water damage/mold issues, safety features, and compliance with building maintenance codes, particularly regarding lead paint management and mold remediation.
