268 Bay 38th Street is a 6-story, 140-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Robert Izsak. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2025), including multiple water-related complaints (damp spots, slow leaks, and plumbing issues), heating problems (two complaints about lack of heat/hot water in April), and air quality concerns. During late April 2025, the building was cited for code violations related to ceiling paint/plaster damage and door/window issues, with these violations remaining open as of the latest inspection.
The property has also faced recurring elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints between 2024-2025 regarding multiple devices and service interruptions, though inspections often found no violations at the time. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing issues with pest control, particularly regarding rodent infestations, with several baiting treatments recorded between 2023-2025. Building safety concerns have been documented, including open violations from an October 2024 inspection related to rodent activity in the garage, unsecured fire door self-closing mechanism, and various other maintenance issues.
The property has had multiple emergency violations related to mold, door repairs, and other maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 6F. There have also been several instances of missing or defective safety equipment, including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, though many historical violations appear to have been resolved. The building's elevator system has been a persistent area of concern, with multiple complaints regarding service interruptions and safety equipment failures between 2020-2025, and the property owner has faced several penalties for failure to submit required reports and maintain safety equipment. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building has faced challenges maintaining basic services, with multiple heat/hot water outages reported in 2025, though these were restored promptly according to HPD inspections.
