255 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The six-story building at 255 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Jeanne Diulio, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. In early 2025, multiple complaints were filed between January 1-23 about door/window issues and heat/hot water problems, with at least three building-wide heat complaints in January 2025 alone. The building also had an unsanitary sewage issue and elevator maintenance concerns in June 2025.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in late 2022, regarding fire door self-closing mechanisms on multiple floors, while a 2021 violation indicated a roach infestation in apartment 2F. Earlier, in 2020-2021, there were elevator-related violations that were eventually resolved. The building's maintenance history shows periodic pest control challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in 2019 (10 units) and 2021 (1 unit), though more recent records from 2022-2024 show zero infested units.

Rodent inspections dating back to 2015 showed no evidence of infestation at that time. While the property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over the years, as evidenced by multiple closed violations and service requests, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly involving the heating systems and door mechanisms, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The elevator service history shows attention to maintenance issues, with violations declared resolved by Kone Elevator.
