618 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The two-family house at 618 Bay Ridge Parkway in Bay Ridge, owned by Mary Ann Hedderson, has had several notable incidents over the past several years. Most concerning is the pattern of Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversion attempts, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2025 that resulted in inspection access being denied.

The most recent complaint in May 2025 remains active, following a similar pattern where inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent-related health inspections, as demonstrated by passing inspections in 2018, 2020, and most recently in February 2022 (following complaints in January and February of 2022 regarding rodent sightings and conditions), there were two complaints involving rodent issues in early 2022, though one was closed due to earlier complaints being filed about the same location.

The building's history shows consistent efforts by authorities to address various concerns, particularly regarding access for inspections. It's worth noting that while the rodent issues in 2022 have been resolved through inspections showing no violations, the ongoing illegal conversion investigations suggest continued property modifications or developments of concern. The property, constructed in 1901, is a two-story building with three units, which falls under the two-family house classification, though the multiple illegal conversion complaints imply possible unauthorized modifications beyond its intended capacity.
