6716 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 6716 8th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Fotinos Panagakos, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past few years, particularly regarding pest management. Since 2019, the building has documented zero bedbug infestations or related incidents across all annual reporting periods, with the most recent report (for 2023-2024) indicating no infested or eradicated units, consistent with previous years' data.

The property has encountered several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in late 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated. These included allegations of illegal conversion, defective or exposed electrical wiring, and unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling.

Of particular concern was the electrical wiring complaint, where inspectors were unable to gain access after two attempts in November 2024. While the illegal conversion complaint and a separate work without permit complaint resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring may be necessary. These recent infrastructure-related issues, particularly the electrical wiring concerns, represent the most significant challenges facing the building in recent years, despite the clean record regarding pest management and the building's historical status as a "New Law Tenement" structure from 1928.
