8645 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8645 Bay Parkway, owned by Erol Kulug, is a 6-story, 101-unit residential building constructed in 1950 in Gravesend. The property has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues in 2025, with three separate reports between March and June documenting chemical vapors, gases, and odors, though these complaints were subsequently closed with advisories to the management. There have been persistent plumbing-related issues, particularly in early 2025, with multiple complaints about bathtubs/showers and water supply problems, though inspections were either incomplete or did not reveal violations.

The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2024-2025, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints regarding plumbing (including water leaks), flooring, and various repairs needed to interior surfaces. A notable cluster of violations was documented for apartment D1 in November 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, floors, walls, and fire safety concerns, though most have since been certified as corrected. The elevator system appeared to be a recurring concern, with complaints in 2023-2024 about single-device operation and related safety issues, resulting in violation notices.

Earlier structural and safety concerns have been documented, including building shaking/vibration complaints in 2021 (though inspections found no violations), and environmental violations related to the brick chimney and facade requiring repairs. Regular rodent inspections from 2011 through 2023 have consistently passed, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) showing zero infested units. The building maintains a record of having its violations resolved through proper certification, though there have been instances of violations not warranting penalties.
