7040 Colonial Road, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 6-story, 60-unit building at 7040 Colonial Road in Bay Ridge, owned by Rosario Parlanti, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most notably, there has been a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple rat sighting reports and conditions attracting rodents documented from April to May 2025, despite inspections in April and May 2025 confirming rat activity and the application of bait. Additionally, the building experienced multiple heating system failures in January 2025, prompting several emergency complaints to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, with some inspections unable to gain access to verify conditions.
The building has also faced various maintenance violations according to the Housing Maintenance Code. An inspection in November 2023 revealed several violations requiring attention, including issues with windows, fire retardant materials, and smoke detectors in apartment 1F. There are multiple open violations from this inspection, particularly concerning fire escape egress obstruction and problems with public area maintenance on various floors.
The elevator system has been a recurring focal point of complaints, with multiple "multiple devices" complaints documented between 2019-2022, though many were ultimately dismissed upon inspection. Recent seismic-related issues were noted in 2024 regarding wall conditions, and an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation was issued in November 2024 concerning building walls at the rear of the property. While the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, the recent rodent issues and heating problems suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems.
