163 Bay 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 163 Bay 11th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Rosario Falzone, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in January 2024, there were three separate complaints related to heating issues—affecting both individual apartments and the entire building—along with a window frame complaint; all these issues were eventually resolved according to HPD records.

A similar building-wide heating incident was recorded in January 2021, suggesting recurring problems with the building's heating system. The building currently has multiple open violations related to building maintenance and safety, including a recent violation from September 2024 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed as required.

Between 2021-2024, there have been four consecutive annual violations concerning the failure to file mandatory bedbug reports with HPD. Additionally, several safety and maintenance violations remain unresolved from January 2021, including issues with fire escape access, roof bulkhead door closure, rust on the front fire escape, and various cleanliness concerns in common areas. While some complaints have been closed with verified corrections, the persistence of certain violations and the pattern of heating system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
