26 Bay 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

Located in Bath Beach, this 27-unit, 4-story "New Law Tenement" building at 26 Bay 25th Street was constructed in 1922 and is currently owned by Rosario Dimaggio. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with the most recent problems reported in April 2025 involving toilet malfunction and multiple emergency service requests, though HPD was unable to complete inspections.

More generally, the building has faced significant maintenance challenges, evidenced by a cluster of housing maintenance code complaints in June 2025 related to unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, as well as issues with various building infrastructure components like windows, doors, and ceilings. Between 2020 and 2021, the building had multiple heat and hot water complaints, with both entire building and individual apartment issues reported, though these were typically resolved quickly according to tenant reports. The building's violation history reveals several outstanding issues requiring attention, including multiple open bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024 and several maintenance concerns documented in March 2021, such as problems with balconies, bulkhead areas, and window glass.

More recent violations from June 2023 indicate failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections from 2018 and 2021, which remain active. Historical complaints from 2018 suggest past safety concerns regarding fire escapes and garbage/recycling storage conditions, though access issues limited inspection verification. While there have been some inspections showing compliance, such as a rodent inspection in 2011, the current open violations and recent emergency complaints indicate ongoing maintenance and safety challenges for the building as of June 2025.
