312 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

312 Bay Ridge Avenue is a three-story, five-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mei Ma. The property has experienced recurring heating and water-related issues, with three separate complaints filed in May 2025 regarding heat/hot water problems, damp spots, and radiator plumbing issues - all of which were classified as either emergency or non-emergency by HPD.

Notably, HPD was unable to complete inspections for two of these recent complaints due to lack of access. The building has a documented history of heat/hot water problems going back to December 2018, though in that instance, tenants reported that services had been restored before inspection. The building currently has several open Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all concerning the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations.

These violations represent a consistent pattern of non-compliance lasting several years. While the bedbug violations may not directly impact immediate resident comfort compared to heating and water issues, their persistent nature suggests ongoing oversight challenges. The repeated nature of heat and water-related complaints, particularly the recent 2025 issues, raises concerns about the building's maintenance responsiveness and system reliability, though it's worth noting that not all complaints result in confirmed violations or service failures.
