7816 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 2-family house at 7816 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Celia Jajati, was built in 1928 and stands three stories tall. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in February and December 2025, both affecting the entire building and recorded as emergencies.

Between 2018 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, with several instances where HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions. The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in October-November 2018, including reports of radiator problems (which were inspected with no violations found), painting issues with windows/frames, and electrical concerns related to lighting.

A general complaint about janitorial/superintendent services was filed in July 2020, which was also investigated without violations being issued. While some issues were resolved or closed without violations, the pattern of heat-related complaints—particularly the two recent emergency reports—suggests persistent challenges with this critical building system. The absence of violation citations in many cases indicates that while the complaints were valid and required attention, they may have been addressed sufficiently to meet basic compliance standards, though not necessarily indicating complete resolution of resident concerns.
