326 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit building at 326 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Fawzi Ali and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns around basic services. Most notably, the building has faced multiple heating and electrical problems, including two separate heating/hot water complaints in October 2024 (one of which was classified as an emergency), and two no lighting issues in 2024-2025.

The property has also been subject to rodent problems, with the most recent mouse sighting reported in June 2025 leading to violations found by the DOHMH and requiring follow-up inspections. There are four active violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for the years 2020-2023, and a rat sighting complaint from January 2021 remains open as of 2023. The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.

In terms of sanitation, there have been two garbage/recycling storage complaints (in 2021 and 2023), with the earlier incident resulting in violations. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the last two reporting periods (2018-2019 and 2022-2023), the pattern of complaints suggests persistent issues with maintaining basic services. The property has experienced multiple access issues during inspections, particularly in 2024-2025, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify heating and lighting complaints, though some issues were reported as resolved during subsequent inspections.
