8721 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8721 Bay Parkway is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building in Gravesend, Brooklyn, constructed in 1954 and currently owned by Evelyn Wenitzky. The building has experienced various maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in February 2023, when multiple units reported problems including a broken window guard (classified as a safety concern), plumbing issues with sinks, problems with door and window functionality, and multiple appliance malfunctions involving refrigerators and electric/gas ranges.

During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect most of these reported issues, leading to the closure of several complaints. An open housing maintenance code violation from June 2020 remains on record, concerning defective plaster and paint in the bathroom of apartment 4A. The building has a relatively clean history regarding pest infestation, with bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 consistently showing zero affected units.

A Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from June 2020 was dismissed in December 2022 after subsequent inspections showed the defects had been corrected. A permit for work associated with job number 321852447 was issued in October 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records. While the recent cluster of 2023 complaints suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges, the absence of any documented bedbug infestations over the past several years and the resolution of the previous DOB violation indicate some level of responsive management to building maintenance issues.
