580 84th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 72-unit, 6-story building at 580 84th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Angel Hernandez and constructed in 1954, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Between December 2024 and February 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with emergency responses from HPD, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify conditions. More recently, in February 2025, there were additional complaints about heat/hot water issues, with HPD again unable to complete inspections due to access issues.

The building has also faced elevator service challenges, with multiple complaints about no alternate service during 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. In terms of safety systems, there were violations noted in October 2023 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas supply issues in apartment 3K, as well as a problem with an uncapped gas line in the kitchen area. Fire safety concerns in December 2024 included issues with self-closing doors and latch sets in various areas, with some violations remaining open as of early 2025.

The building's management has submitted bedbug reports for the past two years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) showing no infested units, though there have been violations related to required reporting. Additional administrative matters include open violations regarding the timely submission of the FISP Cycle 8B and 9B reports concerning exterior wall conditions, with penalties totaling $6,250. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, with many being marked as resolved, though some safety system issues appear to persist as of early 2025.
