598 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

598 President Street is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building located in Park Slope, owned by George Rigas and constructed in 2002. The building has experienced a number of documented maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent significant event being a bedbug reporting violation in March 2023, which has since been closed.

The property has multiple open violations from May 2018 that remain unresolved, including issues with roof leaks and plaster damage in apartment 6C, as well as several safety-related administrative code violations that require proper postings in common areas regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures. In July 2018, the building received a violation for failing to file its FISP Cycle 8B technical report on time, though this was later deleted in November 2018. While the building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance between 2019 and 2024, showing zero infestations in the past seven reporting periods, there have been other concerning maintenance patterns.

In September 2019, there was a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building, which was investigated and ultimately found no violations. The building also experienced rat activity in December 2017, though it passed a subsequent rodent compliance inspection in February 2018. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations or eradications in the past two years, suggesting an improved pest management situation, and the building's age and relatively recent construction mean it generally meets modern building standards, though with some noted exceptions regarding ongoing maintenance violations.
