Augrented Insights Report for 538 Ovington Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 538 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Michael Liadis and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitary issues as evidenced by recent complaints and violations. Between April and June 2025, multiple HPD violations were documented, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage and wall conditions, along with recurring rodent-related problems that prompted several inspections and bait applications between May and July 2025.

The building has a history of significant violations from late 2023, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, heating systems, and self-closing doors in Apartment 5, as well as security concerns related to an illegally fastened padlock at the building front. While the building shows no recorded bedbug infestations in the most recent three reporting periods (2021-2025), inspectors have documented rat activity and pest-related violations as recently as June 2025.

The property has experienced two previous plumbing-related complaints in 2018 and 2022, though inspection access could not be gained in both cases. Notably, eight separate violations were issued in April 2025 alone, covering various maintenance concerns that require attention according to HPD regulations.
