701 Gerald Court, Brooklyn, NY 11235

701 Gerald Court is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building located in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Oksana Masliy. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints, including a recent apartment-only heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 and a more serious entire-building heat/hot water incident in November 2019. The building faced administrative violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2022-2025 show no evidence of infestations or related issues.

Additional compliance matters include two violations in 2023 related to energy benchmarking report submissions, with one still active as of this date, though these were later dismissed. The building's elevator service was temporarily noted as problematic in early 2019, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property's recent history shows generally good maintenance practices, with all bedbug reporting periods (2017-2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Rodent inspections in 2011 and 2019 both passed. The building's HVAC issues, while documented, appear to be managed through appropriate channels, with HPD inspections typically finding conditions that do not violate housing laws. The recent bedbug reporting compliance, along with no documented rodent issues since 2019, suggests improved management of pest-related concerns. The energy-related violations from 2023 indicate some administrative oversights regarding building monitoring requirements, though one of these was subsequently dismissed.
