255 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 255 Bay Ridge Parkway, owned by Laura Hobgood, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over recent years, though showing some recent stability. The most significant concerns involved heating system problems, with multiple complaints from 2018 through 2020, including an entire building outage in April 2020 that was resolved within 24 hours.

The building underwent an inspection in October 2018 that revealed several violations, including a broken entrance door lock and window damage in apartment 3F, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Additional violations were issued during this inspection related to the requirements for posting safety notices about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures in the common areas, all of which were certified as corrected by November 2018.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2018, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. While there have been multiple service requests and subsequent inspections regarding various issues, including intercom problems and window frame concerns, most of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued. The relatively recent absence of heating system complaints since 2020, combined with the building's consistent bedbug-free status over multiple annual reports, suggests improved maintenance conditions in recent years, though the frequency of heating-related issues during 2018-2020 was notable.
