1436 66th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit building at 1436 66th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by George Papathanasiou and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2022 and early 2023. The building faced multiple violations related to pest infestations, including open Class C violations for roaches in apartment 3R (2023) and bugs in apartment 2R (2022), as well as sanitation issues involving mold and water leaks. There were also documented problems with building systems, including electrical lighting failures and pavement issues outside the building.

In early 2023, violations were issued for a broken kitchen window counterbalance in apartment 3R. The property has undergone three bedbug reporting periods (2020-2021, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024), with no documented infestations or required eradication efforts in any of the reporting periods. More recent developments include two bedbug reports in 2024 indicating no infestations or eradication efforts, and an illegal conversion complaint was filed in September 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts in November 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows variable attention to violations, with some being promptly addressed (such as a mold issue being certified as corrected in March 2023) while others remain open. Multiple service requests and housing maintenance code complaints were filed throughout 2022-2023, including for mold, heavy water flow, and pest problems, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued. The most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, relates to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though this has subsequently been marked as closed.
