421 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 421 Bay Ridge Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Nikolaos Dellas and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance and regulatory events over recent years. Most significantly, a violation was issued in June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this violation was subsequently dismissed in August 2023. The building has maintained an almost impeccable bedbug record in recent years, with annual filings from 2021 through 2024 consistently reporting zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

However, there have been some maintenance issues worth noting, including an April 2021 violation for not filing the annual bedbug report and a May 2018 violation for inadequate front entrance lighting, which was resolved within weeks of being cited (June 2018). The building's rodent inspection history shows some variability, with a failed inspection in January 2018 and a successful one in August 2016. The property appears to have undergone regular bedbug reporting as required, with five consecutive annual reports showing no infestations.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 continues this pattern of zero infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices are now firmly in place. The violation for inadequate front entrance lighting from 2018 was promptly addressed within one month of issuance, indicating reasonable responsiveness to safety concerns. While the building has experienced some violations over the years, particularly regarding timely inspections and reporting requirements, the most recent records (2022-2025) suggest improved compliance, particularly concerning bedbug management and reporting.
