238 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

238 Bay Ridge Parkway is a 4-story, 80-unit residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Stacey Athanail. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns being related to heat and hot water systems. Emergency complaints regarding heat/inadequate hot water were filed in January 2021 and October 2023, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification in both instances.

In 2023, the building underwent inspections for mold, refrigerator issues, and several other complaints, generally resulting in no violations being found. A notable cluster of violations emerged in September 2021 from apartment 4B, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards, peeling paint surfaces, and various other maintenance issues, though many of these were certified as corrected by late 2021. The building's recent history includes environmental compliance checks, with no bedbug infestations reported in multiple filings between 2023-2025, and successful rodent inspections in December 2024 and April 2025.

A 2020 Department of Buildings inspection revealed unauthorized construction work in apartment 4D, leading to a stop work order and a $620 penalty for work conducted without proper permits, though records indicate this was eventually resolved. The property has experienced various infrastructure issues over the years, including two power outages in early 2021 and emergency heat/hot water complaints across multiple years. The most recent building inspections show some ongoing maintenance requirements, including a 2023 violation regarding a defective fire passageway lintel at the entrance, though the building generally demonstrates compliance with recent health and safety inspections, with particular attention paid to animal hygiene and sanitation issues.
