448 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit building at 448 9th Street in South Slope, owned by George Balis, has a documented history spanning several years with a focus on health and safety compliance. Most recently, the building has maintained an active but compliant status regarding bedbug reporting, with the most recent filing in May 2024 showing no infested units during the previous filing period.

The property has experienced recurring documentation requirements for bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, all of which have been addressed. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) received complaints in 2018 regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues, though these were resolved with official notifications to the landlord. In early 2022, two food establishment-related complaints were filed regarding food temperature and protection issues, which were also administratively closed.

The building underwent some construction-related scrutiny in 2019, with three complaints filed between late January and mid-April regarding scaffolding and sidewalk shed concerns, though inspections determined no violations warranted action. Importantly, a rodent compliance inspection in March 2022 and another in July 2019 both resulted in passing grades, suggesting successful pest management. The property, built in 1884, has demonstrated ongoing attention to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding health and safety issues, though the recurring need for bedbug reporting and the 2018 rodent/insect/garbage complaint indicate some historical challenges in these areas.
