480 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 8-unit tenement building at 480 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Basil Capetanakis and constructed in 1900, has maintained a relatively stable history over recent years. The building underwent some renovation work in late 2018 through early 2019, with multiple permits issued for the same job number (321683086) including plumbing and engineering work.

During this period, there were two complaints made to the Department of Buildings: one regarding gas utility issues in February 2019 (which showed no violations upon inspection in May 2019) and another about plumbing concerns in January 2019 which resulted in a stop work order that was fully rescinded. Of particular note is the building's consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years.

While there were repeated violations in 2021-2024 regarding the late filing of annual bedbug reports (which were classified as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code), these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of actual infestation problems. The bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 consistently show zero infested or eradicated units, and the most recent report (December 2024) confirms no current or past bedbug issues from November 2023 to October 2024. The building has maintained regular permit updates and has generally resolved any environmental control board violations promptly, including a citation in January 2019 regarding unapproved plans at the job site, which was later resolved with no penalty imposed.
