74 Nelson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

74 Nelson Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Red Hook, Brooklyn, owned by Antonios Filakouris and constructed in 1931. The building has recently experienced significant issues with indoor air quality, with a chemical vapors complaint in May 2024 that was referred from the Department of Health to the Department of Environmental Protection for follow-up.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding Unit 8, which has multiple open violations from October 2021 related to necessary repairs, including roof leaks affecting ceilings, defective plaster surfaces, issues with bathroom caulking, and a malfunctioning self-closing door. These violations remain unresolved as of 2025, though some earlier violations were closed, including a slow water leak complaint from September 2021. The building's history shows attention to pest control, with regular rodent baiting inspections conducted between 2018-2019, though the most recent inspections in 2019 demonstrated that baiting was necessary.

More positively, the building's bedbug reporting for the periods of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 showed no infestations, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested in both annual filings. Additionally, the property had violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent filing compliance. The building's most recent health and safety record suggests continuing attention needed for both air quality and structural maintenance issues, particularly affecting Unit 8, while showing effective management of pest control and bedbug reporting requirements in recent years.
