7819 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 7-story, 17-unit residential building at 7819 Bay Parkway in Gravesend, owned by Stella Shapiro, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over its history. The most significant ongoing concern has been water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2021 documenting heavy water leaks, particularly affecting Apartment 6A, where violations remain open as of 2025.

This unit reportedly requires repairs to multiple surfaces including ceilings and walls in the kitchen and hallway areas, as documented in violations from November 2021. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with annual filings showing no current infestations as of 2024, though there was a notable peak in 2020-2021 with 19 eradicated units recorded. The property has also experienced some elevator-related concerns, with complaints in 2020 and 2022 regarding single device operation, though inspections did not warrant any violations.

During 2020, there were several COVID-19 related complaints that were also closed without finding violations. Three annual bedbug reports (2022, 2023, and 2024) filed with HPD indicate proper compliance with reporting requirements, showing zero infested or re-infested units in recent years. The building's administrative history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with some matters being resolved through inspections and other compliance mechanisms, though the persistent water leak issues in Apartment 6A remain the most significant unresolved maintenance concern as of 2025.
