354 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 26-unit, 4-story residential building at 354 Bay Ridge Parkway in Bay Ridge, owned by Cynthia Avellino, is a New Law Tenement constructed in 1921. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns including a February 2024 rodent sighting (which passed inspection) and a documented pest issue in February 2023.

The building has faced several significant infrastructure problems, including multiple heating and hot water outages in 2019 and 2021 affecting the entire building, and a serious water leak incident in July 2020 that resulted in violations. A comprehensive inspection of apartment 3C in July 2020 revealed multiple violations including missing window guards, inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing issues, and multiple safety code violations, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by August 2020. More recent building administration matters include a 2022 construction-related stop work order due to the withdrawal of the applicant of record, though this was fully rescinded in March 2022.

The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting from 2017 through 2025, with no identified infestations or eradication efforts during this period. The property has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, passing evaluations in both 2024 and February 2023. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the owner has generally addressed confirmed violations, as evidenced by the closure of most complaints and violations in accordance with regulatory requirements.
