1204 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-family house at 1204 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by Bay Ridge 12 LLC and located in Brooklyn's Dyker Heights neighborhood, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past three years. The most recent complaints in early 2023 involved issues with paint/plaster on both walls and ceilings, as well as mold problems, with some of these violations being classified as emergencies.

The building has a documented pattern of moisture-related issues, including multiple mold complaints and water-related problems in late 2022, with violations noted for both damp spots and slow leaks, though not all these complaints resulted in violations being issued. Additional concerning incidents from late 2022 included heating and hot water problems affecting one apartment, which were documented as emergency situations, and an infestation problem involving pests, classified as a non-emergency.

A particularly serious complaint was filed regarding an illegal conversion of commercial space to dwelling units at the nearby address of 11219 Bay Ridge Avenue in November 2022, which resulted in an OATH violation being served in January 2023. While many of the documented service requests and housing maintenance code complaints have been closed, the repeated nature of the moisture-related issues, along with the recent paint and mold problems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced these recurring issues despite being subject to multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
