15 Mackay Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209

15 Mackay Place, a 6-story, 69-unit residential building in Bay Ridge built in 1960 and owned by Reza Ghassabeh, has experienced significant recurring issues with building-wide heat and hot water outages throughout 2025. Between February and May 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints, with at least eight instances reported through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. While many of these complaints were ultimately closed after inspections or occupant confirmation of restored services, the frequency of these outages suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building has also documented several violations that warrant attention. Apartment 4A has open Class B and C violations from August 2024 concerning various issues, including a defective bathroom door, missing window guards, and pest infestations involving roaches and mice. Previous inspections in 2024 revealed concerns about fire egress obstruction and defective self-closing doors in common areas, though some violations from earlier inspections were closed after remediation.

The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections in recent years, including a recent pass in May 2024, and has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations in its most recent annual filings from 2022 to 2024. The building's history includes a few Department of Buildings complaints and violations, though these were generally resolved without major ongoing issues. While there have been some concerns about unauthorized storage in common areas and fire safety features, most historical violations appear to have been addressed. The repeated heat and hot water issues in 2025 represent the most significant recent challenge to tenant comfort and building systems reliability.
