7101 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 6-story building at 7101 Bay Parkway in Bensonhurst, owned by Linden 34 Realty Corp, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues since at least 2019. Most recently, in June 2025, the property received multiple violations for unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, as well as plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers. The building has experienced recurring pest problems, with similar complaints reported in May 2025.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in late 2024, particularly for apartment 6H, including lead paint hazards, door maintenance issues, and evidence of insect infestations. There are ongoing concerns regarding the building's elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2020 and 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections often found no violations. Other notable issues include a 2023 ECB violation for improperly installed AC units ($500 penalty) and historical concerns about the building's facade, fire safety systems, and unauthorized transient use of apartment 1A between 2019-2021 that resulted in several substantial penalties totaling $10,500. The building's maintenance record shows both resolved and ongoing violations across various systems including plumbing, elevator operation, and environmental controls.

While some issues have been addressed, such as a 2024 inspection that passed for rodent control, the frequency of recent complaints regarding sanitary conditions and building systems suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The property has maintained bedbug treatment records showing limited activity, with one reported case in late 2024 being treated successfully. The building, constructed in 1927 and consisting of 65 units, has experienced various infrastructure challenges typical of older New York City tenements, including plumbing issues, elevator problems, and lead paint concerns. The current violations and recent HPD inspections indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring, while the building's history shows some improvements in certain areas, such as rodent control and bedbug management.
