353 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

353 Bay Ridge Parkway is a 6-story, 41-unit residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Michael Niamonitakis. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in late 2024 through early 2025 affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. These issues have been consistently resolved shortly after reporting, though their frequency indicates ongoing maintenance concerns.

The property has faced electrical challenges, notably a non-emergency lighting issue in 2023 that resulted in violations. Building inspections revealed several structural and safety concerns, including an active Partial Vacate Order from August 2022 regarding loose coping stones and mortar joints at the top of the chimney in the east courtyard, and violations related to the replacement of missing light fixtures and loose electrical outlets in the first-story public hall. Recent years have shown the building struggling with various maintenance challenges, including rodent activity as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections throughout 2023-2024.

The building underwent several significant construction-related events between 2021-2024, including multiple ECB violations for work performed without proper permits in 2022, though these have since been resolved with penalties paid. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past several years. While the building has passed recent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections (most recently in November 2024), the history of emergency heat/hot water complaints and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness. The building's management has generally addressed violations in a timely manner once identified, though the recurring nature of some issues indicates potential underlying system problems.
