1251 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1251 Bay Ridge Parkway is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Dyker Heights and owned by Carmelo Cutrona. The New Law Tenement, constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water services affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Between March and May 2023, there were at least three separate heat/hot water complaints, as well as multiple reports of electrical lighting issues, none of which resulted in violations after HPD inspections. The building also had a safety concern in March 2023 regarding a broken window guard that required correction. The property has several active violations with the Department of Buildings as of mid-2023, specifically concerning the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, though one violation from 2022 was dismissed.

Historical records show various maintenance issues in Apartment 1, including a hot water temperature violation in March 2023, and multiple repairs needed for water leaks, window mechanisms, and ceiling issues, though many of these have been addressed and closed. The building's management has consistently filed annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024, showing no infestations or re-infested units during these periods, suggesting good pest control practices. The most recent permit activity was recorded in 2018 for exterior work, with no new permits visible in the recent records.
