421 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 421 68th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Katherine Madimenos and built in 1915, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2022, there was a cluster of complaints related to flooring and stairs, with some violations issued.
The building experienced multiple violations related to unit 2F, including issues with cabinet hinges, window mechanisms, and door functionality. Safety concerns were documented, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections generally showed no violations for these issues. The building's maintenance history shows significant infrastructure concerns, with several open violations as of 2023-2024, including problems with fire retardant materials in the public hall stairs, water leaks in the third-story stairwell, and debris accumulation at the fire escape.
Recent inspection history reveals ongoing compliance issues with external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued in 2023 for failures to file 2020 and 2021 inspections, though a violation from April 2023 was dismissed in December 2023. The building's bedbug reporting for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infestation cases, with zero infested or re-infested units and all reported infestations eradicated. While many of the 2022 violations were ultimately closed, the building's recent history suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding hardware and infrastructure systems.
