273 Neptune Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

273 Neptune Avenue is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Brighton Beach, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Andy Ramgoolie. The building has experienced recurring heat and water-related issues, with the most recent concern reported in October 2023 involving heating problems throughout the entire building, for which HPD could not gain access to perform inspections.

In early 2022, multiple complaints were filed within a single day regarding various issues including heat, mold, water leaks, and plumbing problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building currently has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for the years 2021-2024, and a significant Class B violation from February 2022 concerning obstructions on fire escape egress. Recent activity includes an environmental control board violation from August 2024 regarding unauthorized electrical work for an exterior HVAC unit, with a penalty imposed of $1,250 (with a balance due of $630).

The building underwent rodent inspections in 2009-2012 during which it passed all evaluations. While historical water damage and mold problems have been documented, most issues appear to have been addressed promptly through HPD interventions, though some recurring patterns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property remains subject to active building code compliance requirements, including the need to file annual bedbug reports, which have not been properly submitted according to current open violations.
