601 79th Street is a 6-story, 115-unit residential building in Bay Ridge, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Elisa Gutic. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints including a smoking violation (2025) currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has faced multiple water-related problems, with significant issues in 2024 including heavy water leaks (December 2024), and has had recurring heating system complaints affecting the entire building (November 2024).
A cluster of maintenance issues emerged in early 2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented, particularly focused on doors/windows and electrical systems, though many of these have been resolved. The building's history shows periodic challenges with pest control, including a pest-related complaint in September 2024, though recent filings indicate an absence of infestations since October 2022. Notably, there were significant safety system violations in December 2024 in apartment F1, involving defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected in January 2025.
The elevator system has required attention, with multiple complaints and a penalty resolution in 2020 regarding inoperative devices and maintenance issues. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2018 to the present. While the building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance checks, there have been instances of work being performed without proper permits, though these complaints were generally found to warrant no violations upon inspection.
