444 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

444 9th Street in South Slope is a four-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1882, currently holding a temporary certificate of occupancy under the ownership of Peter Pantelidis. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years.

Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints regarding mobile food vendor smoke/odor and sidewalk shed/scaffolding issues, though the latter inspection did not warrant any violations. A hazardous materials violation was recorded on August 13, 2018, related to insufficient garbage receptacles in the first-story public hall, which remained open until December 2023.

The property has also faced various health and safety concerns, including indoor air quality issues in December 2022 involving chemical vapors and multiple complaints about mobile food vendor-related garbage (January 2021 and June 2025). Other historical issues include door/window problems in 2021 (corrected), unsanitary garbage/recycling storage violations in 2018 with associated violations, and temporary scaffolding concerns in February 2025 that resulted in an Oath violation being served. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all seven annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management practices over this extended period.
