257 Bay 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

257 Bay 11th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building in Bath Beach, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Adriano Bressi. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2019 when an emergency complaint was filed regarding flooring problems, along with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

These issues coincided with a cluster of housing maintenance code violations primarily affecting the first-floor apartment (1FL), where problems were documented with water leaks in both the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, plumbing fixtures including a defective sink, flooring, wall surfaces, and an infestation of roaches throughout the unit. While many of these violations were subsequently closed by October 2019, the building faced additional challenges in 2022 with a plumbing issue that resulted in a Full Stop Work Order.

Most concerning is an active Department of Buildings violation from May 2022, which notes that work performed under a previous approval (LAA #B00718580) could not be verified due to lack of access and unresponsive audit objections, with 0% of the work completed. On a positive note, the building has maintained an active and successful pest control program in recent years, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records from 2021 to the present, showing no current infestations and only three units affected in 2019. The property underwent regular bedbug reporting compliance in subsequent years, with annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units between 2021 and 2024, indicating effective pest management since the 2019 issues.
