45 Bay 28th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The four-story, 25-unit building at 45 Bay 28th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Enrico Ferdico, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently documented in April 2025 and March 2023, where entire building outages were reported and subsequently restored. The building, constructed in 1926, has faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past several years, including instances of unsanitary conditions related to mold and sewage in January 2023, and water-related issues in April 2022 involving leaks and damp spots that resulted in violations.

A significant inspection on March 24, 2023, identified multiple open violations requiring attention, including issues with fire retardant materials, damaged walls, and the need for proper painting in public areas extending from the first to fourth stories, particularly affecting stairwells and the bulkhead area. Earlier concerns included plumbing problems with steam pipes and flooring issues in 2022, as well as some ceiling and wall damage requiring repairs.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest management, with the Property maintaining a clean record for bedbug infestations, as evidenced by five consecutive annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. While some previous violations have been addressed, as indicated by their eventual closure, several open violations from the 2023 inspection remain outstanding as of the current date, July 2025. The property has a documented history of heating system problems, with three separate emergency complaints between 2022 and 2025, suggesting this remains an ongoing challenge.
