230 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The four-story, 20-unit building at 230 Bay Ridge Parkway, owned by Robert Lazar and built in 1921, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most recently, in March 2024, there were two service requests regarding door and janitorial concerns, both of which could not be inspected due to access issues, and an April 2024 violation was issued regarding a fire escape blockage by an air conditioner on the south side of the building's third story. In September 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development inspected and cleared complaints about window frames and water leaks, finding no violations.

The building's history shows consistent monitoring of bedbug activity, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no infestations, following one reported infestation in 2022-2023 that was treated. Previous bedbug violation notices were issued in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 requiring annual reporting compliance. The building has been subject to various Department of Buildings investigations, including a 2023 complaint about work without a permit (though inspectors couldn't gain access), and earlier concerns in 2020 about illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues, neither of which resulted in identified violations.

Notably, two significant ECB violations from 2019 were issued regarding building maintenance issues, including problems with walls and parapets that led to fines totaling $625. While the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing mostly zero infestations in recent years, the pattern of door/window complaints and maintenance issues suggests ongoing upkeep challenges. The property has also been periodically reviewed for Local Law 188/17 compliance, with the most recent inspection in March 2024 finding no violations.
